r**e 发帖数: 57 | 1 Want to choose one for my future use, currently always use pico :)
Which one is more popular and which one is more user friendly?
Thanks. |
i***e 发帖数: 3219 | 2 both are very powerful and popular. maybe vi is a little more
efficient, but emacs a little more "user friendly". and emacs
can do a lot more things other than editting.

I also use vi for simple editting.

within a local emacs session, quite fast.

c*****e 发帖数: 32 | 15 Your point is funny!
You meant anyone who's using vi/vim was not serious computer scientist?
So what is your definition of a "computer scientist"?
It sounds like the same logic of "if you don't drink you are not a true man".

R****r 发帖数: 227 | 17 my point is not funny, but statistical truth. at least in our dept,
almost every faculty and student do their mail/news/program/latex
in emacs. and it's cool in some aspects.
vi is easy to learn and use, emacs is powerful and user-friendly,
they are not contradictory. as a beginner he should hack vi first,
then try to learn emacs.

sometimes use vi for quick editting tasks too. vi launches faster
than a heavily customized emacs.

T********r 发帖数: 6210 | 26 Ok, now we get two criterions to be a serious computer scientist:
1. use emacs, if you use vi, you are not.
2. spend little or no time watering on bbs.
I am just wondering if there are other more criterions? ;-))))))

R****r 发帖数: 227 | 27 use emacs != never use vi
i think most people who use emacs a lot can also use vi easily,
but those who always use vi may not be familiar with emacs, and
they strongly resist to learn emacs!

c******n 发帖数: 4965 | 28 I think vi is more effcient in terms of key strokes
you have to do to finish a function,
like moving around, you have to press Ctrl in emacs,
but in vi, it's right under you finger.
about functions, there're many
plug-ins,
for c file editing, I use ctags and cscope,
I usually do ctags -R . first
you can also use syntax highlighting,
supports c,cpp,awk,pl,sh,tex,ps,.......
most importantly, I think it's faster
but some old guys in our lab just use cat
when typing a small script

D****g 发帖数: 2860 | 29 但是vi要在各个状态之间换来换去也挺烦的。我还是宁愿按ctrl.
我承认vi的效率是比emacs高。不过写程序或paper的时候最慢的瓶颈
还是大脑:)

l******t 发帖数: 108 | 30
in vi you'll always need ':'= Shift+ ';', so if you
remap the Caps Lock to Ctrl, it's right under your finger
too.

Under Windows, there is a small package called "ctrl2cap" or
something similar.
Under XFree86, there is a keyboard option can switch ctrl and cap,
check /etc/XConfig and search the string, uncomment the line, restart
your X server or restart the machine.

D****g 发帖数: 2860 | 33 why? 我觉得很好用阿.我一般把左手的小指头卷一下,用中间那个指节按
ctrl.那种ctrl和capslock反过来的键盘我反而觉得不舒服,经常不小心就碰了
capslock.
我suppose你xmodmap一下就可以把capslock和ctrl反过来了吧.
