Hey, in C that meant "put the value of bad in the item (variable?) named vim" ...
Read this way, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy: "vim" gets the value "bad" , so vim "becomes" bad
And if you 'd have continued "emacs = good" , by the same syntax, that would have lessened the big powers of what (before) was emacs to just the plaintext "good".
As I had the chance to plunge into using vi (when was that? late previous century) I got to know "some" of its power. One being the built-in regexp-search.
I KOW that emacs is powerfull, but didn't find time to actually "grow a comfortable feeling" towards it?. So when now I need more power than given by Notepad and/or word, I try gvim-for-win. And ... on this locked-down machine, I could even install it (turns out the new version calls itself Cream , but the vim icons stay on the desktop as ell)
So no, I refuse the flamebait, but ... if you have a "emacs for windows", it may very well suit your style.
What would the "search for interesting bits" become in emacs ? Do you need a special lisp-program for it, or does the simple /regexp/ do there too ? |
