Once more, I’ve been thinking about that one thing that regularly prevents geeks like us from sleeping peacefully: What is the text editor that I prefer?
I’ve always been a vim guy. I think I started using it on my Amiga or something about 15 years ago. I used it daily when I was studying in [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: “What text editor do you use?”, url: “http://www.noulakaz.net/weblog/2008/07/16/what-text-editor-do-you-use/” });

I’ve just discovered Zoomii, the “real” online bookstore, and I can say that I’m fascinated.
