Another vote for vile/WinVile.

vi interface (mostly), macro language a bit like Emacs.

I really like ViEmu - working in VS without it is painful. (Just upgraded to VS2010 and am trying the beta of ViEmu for it.)

Radski, pure vi? Wow!

gvim on win, vi on *nix

learned vi ages and ages ago at college.

started using vim approx 10 years ago at work.

now Linux ships vim as vi, so there's really no choice. i'd use vim anyway, of course.

usually gvim on Linux or Windows, but sometimes vim on Linux when using Putty or some such rather than X.

Cygwin vim! I've installed it a couple of times, but could never manage to integrate cygwin in my workflow. Much less cygwin vim...

Windows gvim, with occasional uses of the cygwin vim.

Sam, apologies for the problems while posting. Fighting spam in online forums is often problematic. Let me know if I can help out with anything with regards to ViEmu! - Jon

Is there a way to post new topics? I constantly get this error page from the server:

Fatal error: Invalid API key. Please obtain one from http://wordpress.com/api-keys/ in /home/jngng/public_html/viemu/forums/include/Akismet.class.php on line 107

EDIT: looks like it's been fixed

A vimmer of almost 15 years, mostly on Debian.

As I now have to work primarily on Windows, I still haven't found a usable environment. GVim lacks a TTY (to run :!commands), the Vista terminal doesn't have proper scrolling, resizing or mouse selection, MSYS's rxvt has weird control sequence bugs...

I am now evaluating ViEmu and finding it a huge improvement on my generally miserable Visual Studio experience. It still feels quite hackish at times, but it'll probably improve as the 30 days go.

Hi Jon,

I use all versions of vi just depending on the system/computer I am using....gvim on windows, vim/vi on linux, and all of your viemu products on windows.

Johnk3, that's what I'd call vintage! If you use ViEmu, I hope you find it a worthy descendant of those vi incarnations. Thanks!

vi, going back to BSD 4.2 on a VAX 11/750 in the early 80s. Later, on AT&T System VR2 on Motorola 68020 hardware, then some SCO on 80286, Digital UNIX on Alpha, AIX, HP-UX and currently a lot on Solaris 10 (E25K, 6900, 2900).

vim is mostly used on Linux and my desktop PC running Windows.

Hey, AFAIK, named registers and macro recording are both original-vi features!

Visual mode is indeed very useful... VIsual mode for a VIsual editor.
