vim is one thing. But EDLIN does not buy additional geek cred. Merely pity. And disdain. Pity and disdain. Well, mostly disdain.
lol, well put. Notepad++ is my go-to editor in Windows. I don't know if there's a geekier option, but it serves me well enough.
this is the equivalent of normal poeple talking about the weather, but i'll join in.
i use vim all the time, because i know all the keystrokes by heart.
*geek factor 9000!*
LOL just kidding, i use Notepad++ too...
On Windoze I download MobaXterm so I can navigate my machine like it's Linux. Where I can open files in vi (I don't need all of those fancy colors).
