Oh Really? Let me troll my friend in peace.

If you know vim I'd assume you already know the answer. If you know vim and don't know the answer, I guess vim just doesn't work for you. But for many others, it does. I'm not going to enumerate what's already covered in endless blog posts, SO answers, books, IRC logs, and .vimrcs.

I think you're missing the point that many developers choose vim over "modern" editors because of its highly efficient text-editing capabilities. The same points could be made about emacs.

As to "user friendly" - depends on who the user is. Yes, this text box is infinitely more user friendly than vim when your mom is using it.

That a foot-pedal might make vim more usable has nothing to do with vim being outdated or unusable. Is your operating system broken / outdated because one might find a food pedal driving "alt-tab" more usable or fun?

If you want to test multiple versions of IE, you need to do some time intensive VM cloning to trick VirtualBox into thinking they're actually separate images. Then configure and install IE's debugger tools for each image. Then, when the VMs expire in a few months repeat that process.

Add to that the problem of VMs booting slow, running slow, and consuming tons of memory on my otherwise-fast dev machine.

Maybe she was referring to generated or combined code (common in JS projects).

Me too! How strange. Sadly, SouthBeach/Breakers/3015 is no longer around.

exactly.

Pretty cool.

Make the price adjuster control move in increments of at least $10 (maybe $100).

That's your decision. But it's also why you think it's clunky.

It's an awesome text editor. Who said anything about religion?

I actually don't have any .vimrc config for PeepOpen. :cd into your project directory and use the shortcut (I changed my shortcut to cmd+t).

In MacVim preferences, I set "Open files from applications" to "in the current window / and set the arglist"

PeepOpen is the main reason I use MacVim. So excellent.

It's only clunky when it isn't second nature. If you invest the time required to use it without thinking, you'll find it's quite elegant.

Not at all. The things discovered are unessential to getting things done. It's usually just a nicer way or more of a "wow, I can't believe they thought of this crazy edge case".

A few examples: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/400/got-any-mac-os-...

This prototype is a failure of both design and usability. It's an offense and a joke against anyone who expects to be able to interact with a machine in an efficient and intelligent manner.

- It's ugly as hell

- A beginner is bombarded with way too many things to click on

- An expert is annoyed by useless buttons and waste of space

Sure, you can turn it off, but who wants to configure and reconfigure UI preferences for the rest of their lives (sidenote: reminds me of eclipse)? Sensible defaults, please.

Contrast this with Apple, whose designs often define what good design and usability means. In their apps:

- The appearance is simple, well-designed, elegant

- The only actions present are those deemed most necessary to the user

- Tons of functionality is hidden under shortcut keys, modifier clicks and context menus for expert users (after years on OS X, I still discover hidden elegance as a result of their zealous attention to detail)

beauty and the beast

I'm learning clojure, and find it has a certain elegance, but I don't fully "get it" yet.

Really like this counterpoint after all the LISP elitists so often snub other langs. The Ruby version is much more elegant and readable, in this little example. Would love to see more comparisons, specifically hacking around the lack of macros in other langs.

Every time I see a new shiny text editor for mac, I'm like "meh". I would have been excited in my pre-vim days, but now? Nothing touches vim, unless it improves on vim.

Um, guys, no one supports IE6 anymore. The question is whether we should be supporting IE7 (answer: no).

Agreed. This is the second time this has happened to me in the last few months. Using GitHub repo followers as a spam list is unacceptable and makes me immediately dislike the project that the spammer is trying to make known.

I second that. Pure excellence at http://progit.org/

awesome, thanks!

One thing that wasn't mentioned was template bundling with sprockets. A hack/workaround was posted at https://gist.github.com/989891 but I would really like to know if there is or will be a recommended way of doing it.
