I have used vim for nearly 10 years now and never looked back. Curious to know how you’re getting on too.

Also Adrian, as far as multiple files go you have split to split the screen and load different files into each, also the screen utility in linux means you can open a number of files in vim and tab (well, ctrl+a+n or ctrl+a+p) through them. Never had any problem with multiple files and vims key codes are just brilliant, no mouse required, its well worth learning how to use it.

Why not update us on your status, is vim really doing the job?

The compiz-java problem is indeed a pain in the ass, but I’ve dropped compiz for the reason of not being interested in the graphical effects and the slowing down of general desktop usage and the java problem.

Netbeans is a great tool IMHO, but not because of it’s speed. I use it mainly because I can’t imagine working with vim/cli editor at multiple files the same time. The ease and ordering files in tabs/sections is what keeps me with an IDE. Is vim solving this problem?

Regards

Vim has autocompletion. And you can do most of the stuff that NetBeans and Eclipse do, so why would I switch back ?

I think you will definitely come to Netbeans or Eclipse again . Not sure though .
Why I feel so is , for some of the great features like code auto completion . Not sure whether auto completion is there .
Let me know if vim is having all the same features like eclipse through command line . I love to hear if so and will switch to vim as you have done .

Comment on Why in hell’s name we should learn C in the first year of Computer Science by Nick

I can only agree to 70% or so. Seeing as how the standard varies from (Dutch) colleges, it’s pretty hard to enforce C.

Take the school I’m going for example. Hard working, motivated students.(Well, mostly) We basically only use Java, but confronting them with things as memory management and stuffs, it’ll have the effect of kicking them down. Especially because our education isn’t all about programming, ‘n theres’ my point.
