vimacs for Debian
-----------------
Andre Pang <ozone@algorithm.com.au> sat down, after a long session
of crack smoking, and came up with this.. or at least, thats my
explanation. His is a tad more mudane.
Vimacs was created because I was looking for an alternative to Emacs,
and I found none. I wanted a cross-platform editor, since I work a lot
on both Win32 and UNIX systems, and I wanted it to be fast and easy to
customise, yet still have most of the power that Emacs gave me when I
was editing text files, or coding. I tried every single editor I found
on Freshmeat and Ibiblio, but I still couldn't find one that I
liked. Vim would have been perfect, but I could never get used to the
moded style of editing. Pressing <Esc> all the time drove me
nuts. (I'm not saying that moded editing sucks, mind you, I'm just
saying that I personally hated being forced into that kind of editing
style.)
After installing this, I don't believe the vim helpfiles are updated.
