Do you guys Vim is as good in non-Unix environments?

First, value is relative. To my grand mother, Vim has no value. Second, it is true that the price in an efficient market tends to approach the value most consumers will get out of the product (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand ). That being said, the value a consumer assigns to a product is always superior to the actual price he is paying, otherwise, why would he bother with the transaction at all? H…
In many parts of world water IS NOT free. Indeed, there are places where people kill each other for fresh water. Just a tiny nitpick... ;)

The unity in keybindings between my home coding environment and my work coding environment means there's very little cognitive dissonance--my muscle memory does all the work. People who don't spend their time equally split on vastly platforms probably don't understand just how huge of a godsend a cross-platform editor is (Emacs/Sublime have this too--not meaning to suggest there aren't other editors that have this).

So you're saying that this person was implying that even though the price is 0 euro, the consumer surplus is greater than 100 euro? I can understand this reasoning, so thanks for explaining it. I'm not sure I believe that consumer surplus can be measured outside of controlled psychology experiments, since it's only speculation and talk is cheap. I guess I always thought that the value (or worth - these are the same,…
I think the efficiency of markets is based around marginal costs and benefits, not absolute costs and benefits. The cost of goods are set by looking at the intersection of the people willing and able to supply the good, and the set of people willing to pay for the good. See, for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand But the point is that you've found an equilibrium in the system with the current pri…

I use gVim on Windows and MacVim on OSX and while I'm no uber power user, I think they do the job very nicely. I've never really missed much on either platform in terms of capability. The only thing I'd say is that viEmu for Visual Studio is lacking in several areas, but the access to VS's Intellisense makes up for it. And that's of course not an issue with vim as much as viEmu.

VIM is all about its legacy, huge ecosystem and hype I don't agree with the "hype" part. Where's the hype? I use vim because it gets the job done.
> I use vim because it gets the job done. And because it's available everywhere I guess. Without such wide availability (that's what "hype" probably refers to), I don't think it would have been so popular.

Seamless integration into a Unix terminal environment is one of vim's biggest advantages. As an example, the ubiquitous plugin syntastic provides syntax checking for several dozen languages by simply passing your source through the respective command line interpreter and piping the error response back into vim.
