Exactly. It's why I wrote the article. For me, using Vim brings with it a whole general feeling of comfort, which probably includes those early days hacking away on the Xenix box with family close by and Mario dinging in up the hallway.

Weird, I know. But whenever I come back to Vim after straying for any amount of time, I just feel happy. Probably because I can do everything I want to do in the text without having to think about it.



I get the same feeling. It's usually accompanied by the similar feeling I get when I drop back into a linux terminal after having spent eight or nine hours at work on .net. I just sort of automatically relax and feel good, heh.

It's like the nostalgia I get when the seasons change, and for a few days I can feel my childhood.
