I switched to vim from subl about a month ago - it took a bit of getting used to but I'm loving it now. I still use subl for some multi cursor wizardry but that's less and less common now.
I found the disabling the arrow keys in normal mode was the point of no return!
This is a very nice write up, but the tabs/spaces part of it makes no sense at all. "I like it, since it means my source code looks the same on every machine." That reason just makes no sense at all. There's only one reason for configuring tabs to be anything but tabs, and that's because someone else set the standard. So if you're editing python or bash, and you don't feel like being a rebel with a cause, you set exp…
I guess the question is do people modify vim cause they can or cause they have to?
