Hello, my name is Jared and I'm a recovering Modal Text Editor Addict. (liberumvir.com)

Hi Jared, thank you for being brave enough to come and thank you for your contribution.

i had to laugh while reading your article. i went in the exact opposite direction. started with a bloated ide, passed gedit and now i am working with vim, having all the benefits you have listed, too (for free - hehe). i wish you to have much fun with you editor of choice!
