doc/deprecated.txt (#5338)
`deprecated.txt` is a place for deprecated tags to live. - Encourages aggressive documentation of deprecations without cluttering the main help files. - Provides a single browsable reference of all deprecations. Other changes: - Move tags to doc/vim_diff.txt. - Remove doc/quotes.txt. It has little historical value, except maybe the Larry Wall quote.

*quotes*
|
||||
Here are some nice quotes about Vim that I collected from news and mail.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
vim (vim) noun - Ebullient vitality and energy. [Latin, accusative of vis,
|
||||
strength] (Dictionary)
|
||||
|
||||
Vim is so much better than vi that a great many of my old vi :map's became
|
||||
immediately obsolete! (Tony Nugent, Australia)
|
||||
|
||||
Coming with a very GUI mindset from Windows, I always thought of people using
|
||||
Vi as some kind of outer space alien in human clothes. Once I tried I really
|
||||
got addicted by its power and now I found myself typing Vim keypresses in the
|
||||
oddest places! That's why I would like to see Vim embedded in every
|
||||
application which deals with text editing. (José Fonseca)
|
||||
|
||||
I was a 12-year emacs user who switched to Vim about a year ago after finally
|
||||
giving up on the multiple incompatible versions, flaky contributed packages,
|
||||
disorganized keystrokes, etc. And it was one of the best moves I ever made.
|
||||
(Joel Burton)
|
||||
|
||||
Although all of the programs were used during the preparation of the new and
|
||||
revised material, most of the editing was done with Vim versions 4.5 and 5.0
|
||||
under GNU-Linux (Redhat 4.2). (Arnold Robbins, Israel, author of "Learning
|
||||
the Vi editor")
|
||||
|
||||
Out of all the open software i've ever seen and used, and i've seen a lot, Vim
|
||||
is the best, most useful and highest quality to work with, second only to the
|
||||
linux kernel itself. (Peter Jay Salzman)
|
||||
|
||||
It's well worth noting that the _entirety_ of SourceForge was written using
|
||||
Vim and its nifty PHP syntax highlighting. I think the entire SF.net tech
|
||||
staff uses Vim and we're all excited to have you aboard! (Tim Perdue)
|
||||
|
||||
Vim is one of a select bunch of tools for which I have no substitute. It is
|
||||
a brilliant piece of work! (Biju Chacko)
|
||||
|
||||
A previous girlfriend of mine switched to emacs. Needless to say, the
|
||||
relationship went nowhere. (Geoffrey Mann)
|
||||
|
||||
I rarely think about Vim, in the same way that I guess a fish rarely thinks
|
||||
about water. It's the environment in which everything else happens. I'm a
|
||||
fairly busy system administrator working on a lot of different platforms. Vim
|
||||
is the only thing that's consistent across all my systems, and it's just about
|
||||
the only thing that doesn't break from time to time. When a new system comes
|
||||
in the door without Vim, I install it right away. Great to have a tool that's
|
||||
the same everywhere, that's completely reliable, so I can ignore it and think
|
||||
about other things. (Pete Schaeffer)
|
||||
|
||||
Having recently succeeded in running Vim via telnet through a Nokia
|
||||
Communicator, I can now report that it works nicely on a Palm Pilot too.
|
||||
(Allan Kelly, Scotland)
|
||||
|
||||
You've done a tremendous job with 'VIM', Bram! The more I use it, the more
|
||||
impressed I get (I am an old 'vi' die hard who once started out with early
|
||||
versions of 'emacs' in the late 1970's and was relieved by finding 'vi' in the
|
||||
first UNIX I came across in 1983). In my opinion, it's about time 'VIM'
|
||||
replace 'emacs' as the standard for top editors. (Bo Thide', Sweden)
|
||||
|
||||
I love and use VIM heavily too. (Larry Wall)
|
||||
|
||||
Vi is like a Ferrari, if you're a beginner, it handles like a bitch, but once
|
||||
you get the hang of it, it's small, powerful and FAST! (Unknown)
|
||||
VIM is like a new model Ferrari, and sounds like one too - "VIIIIIIMMM!"
|
||||
(Stephen Riehm, Germany)
|
||||
|
||||
Schon bei Nutzung eines Bruchteils der VIM-Funktionen wird der Benutzer recht
|
||||
schnell die Vorzuege dieses Editors kennen- und schaetzenlernen.
|
||||
Translated: Even when only using a fraction of VIM-functions, the user will
|
||||
quickly get used to and appreciate the advantages of this editor. (Garry
|
||||
Glendown, conclusion of an article on VIM in iX magazine 9/1998)
|
||||
|
||||
I've recently acquired the O'Reilly book on VI (it also discusses VIM
|
||||
in-depth), and I'm amazed at just how powerful this application is. (Jeffrey
|
||||
Rankin)
|
||||
|
||||
This guide was written using the Windows 9.x distribution of GVIM, which is
|
||||
quite possibly the greatest thing to come along since God created the naked
|
||||
girl. (Michael DiBernardo)
|
||||
|
||||
Boy, I thought I knew almost everything about VIM, but every time I browse the
|
||||
online documentation, I hit upon a minor but cool aspect of a VIM feature that
|
||||
I didn't know before! I must say the documentation is one the finest I've
|
||||
ever seen in a product -- even better than most commercial products.
|
||||
(Gautam Mudunuri)
|
||||
|
||||
VIM 4.5 is really a fantastic editor. It has sooooo many features and more
|
||||
importantly, the defaults are so well thought out that you really don't have
|
||||
to change anything!! Words cannot express my amazement and gratitude to the
|
||||
creators of VIM. Keep it up. (Vikas, USA)
|
||||
|
||||
I wonder how long it will be before people will refer to other Vi editors as
|
||||
VIM clones? (Darren Hiebert)
|
||||
|
||||
I read about [auto-positioning-in-file-based-on-the-errors-from-make] in one
|
||||
of those "Perfect Programmer's Editor" threads and was delighted to discover
|
||||
that VIM already supports it. (Brendan Macmillan, Australia)
|
||||
|
||||
I just discovered VIM (5.0) and I'm telling everyone I know about it!
|
||||
I tell them VIM stands for VI for the new (M)illenium. Thanks so much!
|
||||
(Matt F. Valentine)
|
||||
|
||||
I think from now on "vi" should be called "Vim Imitation", not the other way
|
||||
around. (Rungun Ramanathan)
|
||||
|
||||
The Law of VIM:
|
||||
For each member b of the possible behaviour space B of program P, there exists
|
||||
a finite time t before which at least one user u in the total user space U of
|
||||
program P will request b becomes a member of the allowed behaviour space B'
|
||||
(B' <= B).
|
||||
In other words: Sooner or later everyone wants everything as an option.
|
||||
(Negri)
|
||||
|
||||
Whenever I move to a new computing platform, the first thing I do is to port
|
||||
VIM. Lately, I am simply stunned by its ease of compilation using the
|
||||
configure facility. (A.M. Sabuncu, Turkey)
|
||||
|
||||
The options are really excellent and very powerful. (Anish Maharaj)
|
||||
|
||||
The Spring user-interface designs are in, and word from the boutiques is that
|
||||
80x24 text-only mode is back with a *vengeance! Vi editor clone VIM burst onto
|
||||
March desk-tops with a dazzling show of pastel syntax highlights for its 5.0
|
||||
look. Strident and customizable, VIM raises eyebrows with its interpretation
|
||||
of the classic Vi single-key macro collection.

|
||||
|
||||
I just wanted to take this opportunity to let you know that VIM 5 ROCKS!
|
||||
Syntax highlighting: how did I survive without it?! Thank you for creating
|
||||
mankind's best editor! (Mun Johl, USA)
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks again for VIM. I use it every day on Linux. (Eric Foster-Johnson,
|
||||
author of the book "UNIX Programming Tools")
|
||||
|
||||
The BEST EDITOR EVER (Stuart Woolford)
|
||||
|
||||
I have used most of VIM's fancy features at least once, many frequently, and I
|
||||
can honestly say that I couldn't live with anything less anymore. My
|
||||
productivity has easily doubled compared to what it was when I used vi.
|
||||
(Sitaram Chamarty)
|
||||
|
||||
I luv VIM. It is incredible. I'm naming my first-born Vimberly. (Jose
|
||||
Unpingco, USA)
|
||||
|
||||
Hint: "VIM" is "vi improved" - much better! (Sven Guckes, Germany)
|
||||
|
||||
I use VIM every day. I spend more time in VIM than in any other program...
|
||||
It's the best vi clone there is. I think it's great. (Craig Sanders,
|
||||
Australia)
|
||||
|
||||
I strongly advise using VIM--its infinite undo/redo saved me much grief.
|
||||
(Terry Brown)
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks very much for writing what in my opinion is the finest text editor on
|
||||
the planet. If I were to get another cat, I would name it "Vim".
|
||||
(Bob Sheehan, USA)
|
||||
|
||||
I typed :set all and the screen FILLED up with options. A whole screen of
|
||||
things to be set and unset. I saw some of my old friends like wrapmargin,
|
||||
modelines and showmode, but the screen was FILLED with new friends! I love
|
||||
them all! I love VIM! I'm so happy that I've found this editor! I feel
|
||||
like how I once felt when I started using vi after a couple of years of using
|
||||
ed. I never thought I'd forsake my beloved ed, but vi ... oh god, vi was
|
||||
great. And now, VIM. (Peter Jay Salzman, USA)
|
||||
|
||||
I am really happy with such a wonderful software package. Much better than
|
||||
almost any expensive, off the shelf program. (Jeff Walker)
|
||||
|
||||
Whenever I reread the VIM documentation I'm overcome with excitement at the
|
||||
power of the editor. (William Edward Webber, Australia)
|
||||
|
||||
Hurrah for VIM!! It is "at your fingertips" like vi, and has the extensions
|
||||
that vi sorely needs: highlighting for executing commands on blocks, an easily
|
||||
navigable and digestible help screen, and more. (Paul Pax)
|
||||
|
||||
The reason WHY I don't have this amazingly useful macro anymore, is that I
|
||||
now use VIM - and this is built in!! (Stephen Riehm, Germany)
|
||||
|
||||
I am a user of VIM and I love it. I use it to do all my programming, C,
|
||||
C++, HTML what ever. (Tim Allwine)
|
||||
|
||||
I discovered VIM after years of struggling with the original vi, and I just
|
||||
can't live without it anymore. (Emmanuel Mogenet, USA)
|
||||
|
||||
Emacs has not a bit of chance to survive so long as VIM is around. Besides,
|
||||
it also has the most detailed software documentation I have ever seen---much
|
||||
better than most commercial software! (Leiming Qian)
|
||||
|
||||
This version of VIM will just blow people apart when they discover just how
|
||||
fantastic it is! (Tony Nugent, Australia)
|
||||
|
||||
I took your advice & finally got VIM & I'm really impressed. Instant convert.
|
||||
(Patrick Killelea, USA)
|
||||
|
||||
VIM is by far my favorite piece of shareware and I have been particularly
|
||||
pleased with version 3.0. This is really a solid piece of work. (Robert
|
||||
Colon, USA)
|
||||
|
||||
VIM is a joy to use, it is so well thought and practical that I wonder why
|
||||
anybody would use visual development tools. VIM is powerful and elegant, it
|
||||
looks deceptively simple but is almost as complex as a 747 (especially when I
|
||||
look at my growing vimrc), keep up that wonderful job, VIM is a centerpiece
|
||||
of the free software world. (Louis-David Mitterand, USA)
|
||||
|
||||
I cannot believe how great it is to use VIM. I think the guys at work are
|
||||
getting tired of hearing me bragging about it. Others eyes are lighting up.
|
||||
(Rick Croote)
|
||||
|
||||
Emacs takes way too much time to start up and run, it is too big and bulky for
|
||||
effective use and the interface is more confusing than it is of any help. VIM
|
||||
however is short, it is fast, it is powerful, it has a good interface and it
|
||||
is all purpose. (Paal Ditlefsen Ekran)
|
||||
|
||||
From the first time I got VIM3.0, I was very enthusiastic. It has almost no
|
||||
problems. The swapfile handling and the backup possibilities are robust, also
|
||||
the protection against editing one file twice. It is very compatible to the
|
||||
real VI (and that is a MUST, because my brain is trained over years in using
|
||||
it). (Gert van Antwerpen, Holland)
|
||||
|
||||
Visual mode in VIM is a very powerful thing! (Tony Nugent, Australia)
|
||||
|
||||
I have to say that VIM is =THE= single greatest piece of source code to ever
|
||||
come across the net (Jim Battle, USA).
|
||||
|
||||
In fact, if you do want to get a new vi I'd suggest VIM-3.0. This is, by
|
||||
far, the best version of vi I've ever seen (Albert W. Schueller).
|
||||
|
||||
I should mention that VIM is a very good editor and can compete with anything
|
||||
(Ilya Beloozerov).
|
||||
|
||||
To tell the truth sometimes I used elvis, vile, xvi, calvin, etc. And this is
|
||||
the reason that I can state that VIM is the best! (Ferenc Deak, Hungary)
|
||||
|
||||
VIM is by far the best editor that I have used in a long time, and I have
|
||||
looked at just about every thing that is available for every platform that I
|
||||
use. VIM is the best on all of them. (Guy L. Oliver)
|
||||
|
||||
VIM is the greatest editor since the stone chisel. (Jose Unpingco, USA)
|
||||
|
||||
I would like to say that with VIM I am finally making the 'emacs to vi'
|
||||
transition - as an Editor it is so much better in many ways: keyboard layout,
|
||||
memory usage, text alteration to name 3. (Mark Adam)
|
||||
|
||||
In fact, now if I want to know what a particular setting does in vi, I fire up
|
||||
VIM and check out its help! (Nikhil Patel, USA)
|
||||
|
||||
As a vi user, VIM has made working with text a far more pleasant task than
|
||||
before I encountered this program. (Steinar Knutsen, Norway)
|
||||
|
||||
I use VIM since version 3.0. Since that time, it is the ONLY editor I use,
|
||||
with Solaris, Linux and OS/2 Warp. I suggest all my friends to use VIM, they
|
||||
try, and they continue using it. VIM is really the best software I have ever
|
||||
downloaded from the Internet, and the best editor I know of. (Marco
|
||||
Eccettuato, Italy)
