Vim is like a virus that plants itself directly into your brain. Using it has crippled my ability to use "normal" text editors. No longer am I satisfied with default application navigation controls. I can't use a browser without Vimperator installed. How can this madness be stopped!?
I always hesitate to post on these types of questions: everyone seems to be Java, Ruby, Python, etc and I feel like the Microsoft stack outcast! Visual Studio 2010 at home and 2008 at work. We're primarily .NET so the two just kind of go hand in hand. I'm also spoiled by intellisense. I also use Eclipse at work since we've been doing a lot with GWT on the client side (thought still using .NET on the backend). Finally…
If you like Eclipse and miss some of its features in Visual Studio I can really recommend Studio Tools: http://submain.com/products/studiotools.aspx I used to run Resharper when I used Visual Studio 2005, but with 2008 there's much less need for it.
Anyone knows of a simple way of getting that?
Ye can gain mine Emacs when ye wrest it from mine chill, mortified fingers.

emacs. first job out of college, got put on a team that used emacs, so i learned emacs. things i love: non-modal interface (used vim in college, found myself frequently cursing its modes: "do what i think, not what i type!"); lives on every system i work on; does not require smelling salts after encounters with large files; insanely flexible and powerful things i hate: insanely flexible and powerful (i.e., large inve…

I used to use jEdit, which is still a very nice editor. And it ran on Mac/Unix/Windows, which was good because I moved among all three systems. But the last I looked (three or four years ago) development had stalled. And I got into a job where I periodically had to SSH to various Solaris boxes and edit on the console, in Vim. I knew just enough Vim to edit config files and simple shell scripts without too much pain.…
I accidentally used Vim the other day. I noticed Vim now has Emacs keybindings -- C-n goes to the next line, C-p goes to the previous line, etc. For a second, I thought that C-x C-s was going to save my file and I was going to be able to exit with C-x C-c. Nope. I had to make the journey over to the ESC key. So close...

Well anyway, it worked for me. I have no trouble switching between the 3 editing modes while I program, edit configs and write email (thunderbird for now).

There's one thing I lack for Visual Studio though, and that is the ability to highlight a searchterm in a file. Anyone knows of a simple way of getting that?
Emacs has many ways of highlighting search terms: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/385661/emacs-highlight-al...

What if his files end with ".hs"?

I think you're supposed to map Caps to be an ESC key in vim, just like most people who use emacs map it to be an extra Ctrl.

In vim, it's :set hlsearch http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Highlight_all_search_pattern_match... Emacs has many ways of highlighting search terms: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/385661/emacs-highlight-al...
After some more googling it appears Visual Studio 2010 has the feature, almost, and a simple plugin gives the exact functionality I want. Dunno if I want to upgrade to 2010 yet though. Hm...
