I get an additional speed in Linux and Linux appears to be honest in file copy operations than Windows, which appears clever. Windows based activities are no match in Linux, especially in setting up the system. I spent quite some time in finding the right location for .vimrc, so I can change some trivial behavior .

Any industry with productivity disruption

Useful. Please share if you have such gems.

Get me block level (vit, cit ...) commands in ST2 and I will switch. They are done very well in Vim.

Vintage mode (which comes with ST) supports most common vim commands and either way there's plugins for most things and you can write your own for pretty much anything at all.

This is still a very small subset. If you are a moderately advanced Vim user, neither Vintage nor VintageEX are enough, I'm afraid.

Anything that isn't built in you can add yourself...

Versus having it built-in in my current editor?

I use HP Pavilion for 2 years and X220, which works on Ubuntu 12.04. On HP, the hardware support for some key aspects keeps dwindling and that is a concern. I suspect the same with X220 (while updates, the Bluetooth driver site was not responding. I don't know if Bluetooth would continue to work.

I use a diary to maintain the tasks for any day. If the tasks are not done on that day, very rarely they are done in a single day, I write them on the next day's calendar page. I also write a small note below the previous page where I get the next thread.

I would like you to add a facility to let us see the linked web page on the right hand side.

We need to think beyond mind maps. Not everyone is able to understand it.

Good for yEd find.

I am using Linux for more than a year now and feel liberated from the Windows trap. Lately, Windows has become too slow in terms of even copy operations. Looks to be a long reading. I think I can skip a few chapters .

This is one of the best tutorials around. Found it very useful and I can't even think of going to windows after reading this!

File copy operations?

Surely the time required for this is dominated by the disk IO speed?

The dominant operation is recalling how to copy something and actually going through the steps to copy it, not anything related to disk IO. At least, as people experience it it is.

Depending on what kind of storage devices are being used, I have observed very slow file transfers in Windows Explorer versus the Windows command-line copy command.
