And for a text nerd such as myself, it is also a matter of curiosity to <a href="http://blog.anupamsg.me/2011/09/15/heretical-confessions-of-an-emacs-addict-joy-of-the-vim-text-editor/" title="Vim">try out other editors</a> once in a while.</p>https://slashusr.anupamsg.me/2011/09/15/heretical-confessions-of-an-emacs-addict-joy-of-the-vim-text-editor/Thu, 15 Sep 2011 00:00:00 +0000https://slashusr.anupamsg.me/2011/09/15/heretical-confessions-of-an-emacs-addict-joy-of-the-vim-text-editor/<h2 id="context">Context</h2> <p>As an experiment, I have recently started using <a href="http://www.vim.org/">Vim</a> as my primary text editor. While I have been an <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/">Emacs</a> aficionado for a very, very long time - clocking in at almost 16 years - Vim is something that I have always been curious about, and tinkered with from time to time, while ending up going back to Emacs. This time however, I intend to stick around for a while, and try to get a feel of the Zen of Vim.</p>
