That about sums it up. :slight_smile:

If I recall, the Pragmatic Programmer mentions totally mastering a text
editor (and thus likely sticking with 1 or 2), but learning new
languages on
a frequent basis.

Well, I might be mashing in Chad F.'s “India” book, or I might
just be attributing my own whims to authorities in the field. It
definitely traces back to those books, but the path it takes from
those books to this post passes through my brain, and interposing my
brain along the signal path can sometimes have unpredictable results.

That makes sense and I appreciate the clarification. It also helps me
to look at it a little differently than I have in the past. So thank
you.

I recommend you invest an hour or so and read through the manual. I
used TM for about a month and thought to myself, “Eh it looks pretty,
but I don’t see what the big deal is…people rave about it though so
I must be missing something, time to read the manual.” After going
over basic features that I already knew, I came across “go to file”
and thought, “Holy crap that would have been useful,” and it turned
out that was only a very very small part of what I learned during my
study session. Now I’m a TextMate fanboy too :slight_smile:

A few people have recommended this and to be honest, I have. Again,
quite a few other editors have goto file, etc…

My final conclusion from this whole discussion is, I will just stick
with Vim. I don’t think I am missing anything. Looks like it’s a mac
product at the core and mac users just like core mac programs. I do
not see any feature it has that would be used in programming that
other editors do not have as well. Just my thoughts after this
conversation.
