Subject: RE: Tech: Vim editor - any experience??
Thanx Guys.

I have Notepad++ because it is available as a portable version. And have written HTML, JavaScript & JSON with it. Sometime HTML is written via JavaScript because the results come from computations eg Grid Refs to Benchmarks nearby. Serverside is not my forté.

Vim Portable is available. And portability is a strong criterion.

Dreamweaver has been used for years, and it does help having the language tools in the app instead of my head. But my experience with Pagemaker - to InDesign and Premiere to CS4 warns me that Adobe don't do backward compatibility and progressive evolution in any way conducive to purchase. Everything changes, so the choices open-up to "it's all gonna be a learning curve, whatever". Dreamweaver has changed a lot, I see, & I don't do monthly subscriptions.

BTW there is a version of Word & Excel 365 that can be purchased. But not the whole Office suite. I found Libre Office (when Open Office) couldn't handle one essential VBA op even with a workaround.
