Screaming Penguin - Source Does Matter

OK, so I think that there are a couple of you out there like me who currently have a job that requires the use of VS.net. Now, as I've said here on this forum before, VS.net is actually a great IDE. It has nearly every feature that I or others love about eclipse, and at least for me, it is much more stable and plays nicer than eclipse did. It also has its own set of value the eclipse does not. One thing missing, however was a vi plugin. (see www.satokar.com for an eclipse plugin)

Anyway, I'm not here to evangelicize VS, rather I'm here to say that finally, after a search that lasted years, there is a really good vi emulator for VS.net.

"J" over at viemu.com has written a plugin for VS that really "just works". It's a little pricey, but if you grew up with vi and end up with j's and k's all over your code, you simply must give this thing a try.

I tried it for just two days before I realized that I really didn't want to go back and that the sum would be made up in happiness very quickly. So far, support has been excellent and I literally have no complaints.

So, if you are trapped in a VS world and want vi, go check this thing out.   viemu
