No, masochists use Emacs. Snob masochists use Vim.

I use vim.

I'll spare everyone the rant because you probably don't care, but I will say that if you're going to be doing a lot of coding in any language, learning vim is almost certainly worth it (although it admittedly does take a bit of time).

And because I really can't completely resist the urge to rant:
Fun fact: my tab key is bound to tab-complete words just like you do on the command line. This has greatly reduced the frequency with which I misspell variable names.

And yes, I'm probably a snob ;).

Ooo. I had never thought of doing that. I use tab to change tabs, but completing words seems so much more useful. Thank you!

that does sound handy

but

1) what if you want a tab (cause i use tab all the time as tab)
2) does it pick up on love functions?

1)Vim is a modal text editor.
2) The auto completion works by reading the words in all of the files you have open at the time. So you have to type out a function for the first time in full, but when the next time you want to type it you can auto-complete it. There probably is some way of having it read through a set of default functions, I imagine.
