I for one use my own web-based version control system and project management. If there was a good web-based texteditor that is 100% vim compatible, I could stop switching between a browser and a shell.

What sort of stuff do you work on? Do you use a web based editor to modify stuff locally or is it for web based stuff hosted the other side of the world?

I always SSH'd into boxes and edited stuff there if necessary, or had a local copy to work on using "normal" editors and synced it. But now I'm writing C++ so I am blessed with good IDEs so perhaps that is why I am missing the excitement over a text editor?

I work on web based stuff on the other side of the world.

I edit code in vim in screen in ssh.

Used many IDEs in the past, but settled on pure vim.

Ah I see the draw of an editor in a page then. Now I understand the excitement.

Thanks!
