Linux: What Makes Linux Compelling to Use?
Submitted by srlinuxx on Saturday 23rd of October 2010 11:16:20 PM Filed under
blog.eracc.com: This question popped into my head today while I was reading my Linux based RSS feeds. Almost all Linux based articles that try to "sell" Linux do so by comparing Linux to some other operating system. With Linux I think we need to concentrate more on the question of, "Why is Linux good?"

Microsoft Linuxwashing and Research Openwashing
| today's howtos |
Why Everyone should know vimVim is an improved version of Vi, a known text editor available by default in UNIX distributions. Another alternative for modal editors is Emacs but they’re so different that I kind of feel they serve different purposes. Both are great, regardless.
I don’t feel vim is necessarily a geeky kind of taste or not. Vim introduced modal editing to me and that has changed my life, really. If you have ever tried vim, you may have noticed you have to press “I” or “A” (lower case) to start writing (note: I’m aware there are more ways to start editing but the purpose is not to cover Vim’s functionalities.). The fun part starts once you realize you can associate Insert and Append commands to something. And then editing text is like thinking of what you want the computer to show on the computer instead of struggling where you at before writing. The same goes for other commands which are easily converted to mnemonics and this is what helped getting comfortable with Vim. Note that Emacs does not have this kind of keybindings but they do have a Vim-like mode - Evil (Extensive Vi Layer). More often than not, I just need to think of what I want to accomplish and type the first letters. Like Replace, Visual, Delete, and so on. It is a modal editor after all, meaning it has modes for everything. This is also what increases my productivity when writing files. I just think of my intentions and Vim does the things for me.
