"excellent programe"

linux4test September 24, 2010 / Version: Vim 7.3

2010-09-24 10:14:51 | By linux4test

Pros

it's very useful when edit configure file like boot.ini.

Cons

I like it.

Summary

As if boot.ini is readonly,edit with notepad you must set it to no read only and change the content and then change is to read only back. But with vim you only edit it and then type ":wq!".

"A must have for Vi user"

ecophil February 27, 2007 / Version: Vim 6.4

2007-02-27 02:52:53 | By ecophil

Pros

Helps unix programmers to feel at home on Windows. Vim expands vi and even break some limitation of the original such as long line limit.

Cons

If you dont know vi, then you may have trouble. If you take time to learn and practice, you will soon find yourself wondering why you didn't use it sooner.

"The real deal"

Mustang33 August 31, 2006 / Version: Vim 6.4

2006-08-31 19:28:02 | By Mustang33

Pros

Vi is the text editor. Vim stands for vi improved and it is the text editor most people really use now when they say vi and was originally for UNIX but is available for most any OS.

Cons

From the Vim website:

Vim isn't an editor designed to hold its users' hands. It is a tool, the use of which must be learned.

Currently download.com has v6.4 but v7.0 is available from the vim website: vim.org
