Vim - precision editing at the speed of thought
I came across a presentation from Drew Neil of Vimcasts fame, all about what makes Vim the editor that it is. I’ve seen several of the Vimcasts videos and always learn something new, but this presentation gives a nice overview of the history of Vim and why some of the features of the modal text editor evolved. Worth a watch (49 minutes).
