VIM is 20 years old

I LOVE Vim. I even use gVim at work sometimes. When I hear Vim v.s. Emacs debates, I wonder “What debate? Vim wins hands down.”

Vim hit 20 years old a little while ago. Happy birthday Vim.

If you’re curious, Vi began in 1976 and Vim followed 15 years later in 1991.

Here is a free Vim ebook to get you started.

Vim Editor Cheat Sheets

Posted in Open Source, Software on February 21, 2009 by ubducted

Vim saved me from tedious work today.  I had to convert some text to lower case among other text manipulations.  What would have taken quite some time to retype, Vim was able to do in a few seconds with some simple commands.  Ahhh, good ‘ol VIM.

Still being a Vim newbie, 100 Vim Commands Every Programmer Should Know is a great blog post that helped me out.  I used the information to make a 2-page Vim 100 Command Cheat Sheet for myself that I could laminate.  It can sit nicely beside the Vim Graphical Cheat Sheet, the Vim Quick Reference Card, and other Vi Editor Cheat Sheet.
