The headline is cheerful, ironic attention-grabbing; the writer acknowledges text editor choice is a preference, then lays out briefly how to set up vim for RoR development.
There was recently a thread on erlang-general that was almost 100 replies long. It started out as "Is Erlang a Good First Language?"... then slowly dissolved into "IDE Bashing". I had to switch my mailing list options to digest I was getting so many emails each day with personal rants.
The thing is, Emacs and Vim are awesome, and they are "huge" programs. Also, they are "extremely" flexible, so one persons preferences might be way different than the others. For example, the blog post here uses MacVim and GVim? That's crazy talk (IMHO).
RTFM!

No offence, but this comment sounds more like a one generated by a bot of some kind.

I too use tabstop=2 But `cat` uglifies it, so I added this to ~/.bashrc: alias tab='sed "s/\t/ /g" ' You needn't say "cat myfile | tab"; you can just use it exactly like cat: "tab myfile" (I'm not saying that you'd not instantly realize that - but that I didn't).

Ugh. Not sure about you, but I think HN should be a IDE/Editor blog post restricted site. There was recently a thread on erlang-general that was almost 100 replies long.

The shell has stdin redirection built in via '<'
Cream is a good VIM editor on Windows.
The idea is to take vim and basically castrate it by getting rid of the standard keybindings and ways of doing things to make it 'easier' for non-vim users. It even appears they got rid of modal-editing.
The issue with this then they don't learn how to do things the vim way which defeats the purpose of using vim, just go use notepad++ or any other gui editor you get the same experience.
