Now, what Windows editors offer, where Vim doesn't are.
Vim/gVim is available on Windows too. I'm using Vim both on Linux, Windows and AIX. Being able to use the same editor on different platforms, and sharing the same configuration, is a major feature of vim.
Display split? Seriously, seeing only 1% of the whole code makes a real sloppy coding and is prone to serious coding problems as you have less code revealed to yourself, I never split screen.
I'm using it occasionally when I have to move code or to view two parts of a file at the same time (such as data structure definition while writing code that uses it).
Just to troll (with a good reason) a slightly bit to fire up vim lovers =) but why do 95% of vim themes look super ugly? Do you think people would even code good with 'blue' color scheme? It hurts my eyes from the first second.
I'm using the blue scheme 8 hours a day when coding.
