How does jEdit compare to Vim?
Submitted by on Thursday, 20 September, 2007 - 14:28
I just stumbled across jEdit yesterday, and it looks promising, but I have a few issues:
1. How do you save editing sessions? Let's say I have 10 buffers open, with different screen arrangements, etc. How do I save all of that so I don't have to re-load buffers and re-position the panes? I'm not trying to start a flame-war, but Vim does this easily.
2. Again, a comparison to Vim, but how do I easily resize all panes to be of equal size?
3. What about tabs for organizing your editing views?
I know someone's going to say, "Well, if you like Vim that much, just use it." And I do. But I like what I see of jEdit so far, and want to give it a chance.
