ROTR

I switched to vim about a month ago, and generally enjoyed the experience using Linux.

However, even when moving my .vimrc file over, I just couldn't get comfortable using vim from the command-line, nor could I get comfortable using MacVim. I had to switch back to Aquamacs! :)

To keep myself sane with indentation while writing ActionScript code, I ran across an ActionScript mode for Emacs that worked with the latest version of Aquamacs. (The original version I found didn't work.)

To install it, I edited my ~/Library/Preferences/Aquamacs Emacs/Preferences.el file to add:

(require 'actionscript-mode)

(setq auto-mode-alist
      (append '(("\\.as$" . actionscript-mode)) auto-mode-alist))

Well, Eclipse, I gave you a try.

But so far, editing Ruby code in GNU Emacs has been a more comfortable experience.

This is not just due to keystroke memory. It's due to Eclipse freezing up when trying to do code completion with its Ruby editing mode.

I might try you again when I dive into Java.
