Hey Cuddles, vim (aka gvim), is a GUI editor!

Cuddles, in spite of all your useful advice over these and other forums, you are wrong on vim . No other editor comes close and I've never met anybody who can edit/create files as quickly and efficiently as I can using vim (I'm a software developer). I've been using vi/vim for over 20 years and consider myself a vim guru but still am occasionally surprised to discover new features hidden within its treasure trove. With the recent vim 7, I've now got to learn heaps more ....

Vim is for power users! Hooray for Bram Moolenaar.
