Agreed - this is pretty much the only reason MacVim lives on my machines. It handles huge files way better than anything else I've tried.

I can use vim. I know it pretty well. But the inescapable fact is that, for me, it's clunky and requires more thinking than just using a mouse and pointing at something, then typing what I want to type. I use it because I haven't found something better (and I'm sure it exists, I just haven't seen it).

It's only clunky when it isn't second nature. If you invest the time required to use it without thinking, you'll find it's quite elegant.
I can do thousands of other things with that time that are worth infinitely more to me.

As it happens, I do.

It's a text editor, not a religion.

That's your decision. But it's also why you think it's clunky.

It's an awesome text editor. Who said anything about religion?
