I’ve been a vim user for many years. More recently I have been mainly working on a Mac, but the version of vim for OS X was never very good. It felt like a Linux application that had been ported to the Mac. It didn’t support multiple windows, the standard Mac shortcut keys didn’t all work as expected and it just didn’t feel like it fitted in very well. I was almost tempted to move to TextMate, but I missed all the regular expression commands I had grown used to. Recently I have moved over to use Bjorn Winckler’s MacVim. It is a proper Cocoa application which supports multiple windows etc and just looks and feels more Mac-like. It even automatically updates when there is a new version. It has got to the point where it is better than the old Carbon version in under a year. I recommend you give it a try.
