for a few of us that still use the old style editors, Vim releases, while infrequent, are nice.

Where I work, Vim is staple, even on Windows. When you work in a cross-platform environment, it's nice to have a text editor that respects line terminators. I also use regex search/replace a lot.

Is there any good plugin for html/javascript? I had problems with the built in ones when both where mixed into the same file.

Does anyone know what does Lua, Python 3 interface mean?

I am using VIm every day, on my work, at home, on every computer I deal with, under GNU/Linux and MacOS X. I used it on AmigaOS (its original platform) and Solaris (on my previous employment). If sometimes forced to use Windows, I install Cygwin and use VIm instead of any other text editor. And the most important plugin for me is "bash-support.vim". It's the second most frequent software I use (after Firefox) and it's been so for years.

Infrequent releases? Perhaps more a reflection of how difficult it is to improve on near perfection! Flirted with, and tried other things, but I always come back "home" after mere hours, there is nothing to match Vim in my book. Long may it continue.

vim is a staple. One of the few programs that really ought to be installed on every device -- every OS, every architecture, everywhere, you need vim.

The whole emacs vs vim debate never dies, but it is easily settled for me: vim.

Pfft, vim.

Real men use Emacs!
