# Vi-ish Vim Configuration
|
|
|
|
Learning anything but pure `vi` first will become a liability when you
|
|
want to be productive on a remote computer that doesn't have your
|
|
precious configurations. If you are never using another computer for
|
|
anything you might want to look at `emacs` instead, but you still have
|
|
to learn `vi` if you want to learn an editor that actually follows the
|
|
[UNIX philosophy](https://duck.com/lite?kd=-1&kp=-1&q=UNIX philosophy) (`emacs` sure the fuck doesn't). By the way, don't
|
|
abandon `vi` until you have at least learned the
|
|
[magic](https://rwx.gg/vimagic) that makes `vi` objectively superior to
|
|
every other editor on the planet. Most who leave or criticize it never
|
|
even learn the most powerful aspect of it: full shell integration.
|
|
|
|
## Why not use Vim 8 native plugins?
|
|
|
|
Because they suck. They require everything be the `.vim/pack` directory
|
|
and there is no mechanism for pulling down the plugins from git hosting.
