  1. Re:Seriously by dakameleon · · Score: 1 · on Why Mac OS X Is Unsuitable For Web Development

    When will emacs or vim be available for Mac???

    You mean like they already are?

    Python packages are also a huge problem on a Mac. It is not like setuptools exist for Mac OS X....

    Do you just just not know how to google that shit?

    Also, when I develop for the web I always format all my devices to HFS+. I will never use FTP or SAMBA as they do not work on Mac.

    What on earth?! Are you suggesting you can't just FTP from or to a Mac? Are you trying to mount a Mac drive as a Samba share? why?

    Macs never get vi

    You'll have to settle for vim then!

    I'm pretty happy with Vim ;)

    Seriously, I've found NeoOffice enough to manage the daily flow of doc/xls/ppt files. I mostly view those files, the exception being Excel spreadsheets I routinely send to other departments. The spreadsheets are dumps of SQL queries, which I can produce as CSV and later import in OO Calc, or run under Parallels a Windows 2000 instance (pretty snappy in my Macbook) and EMS SQL Manager for MySQL to get the report straight as an Excel file (and character encoding issues are handled better).

  4. Macvim by holygoat · · Score: 2, Informative · on TextMate

    You mean like the native Carbon gvim for Mac?

    The first hit for "mac vim" on Google: http://macvim.org/OSX/index.php

    It's beautiful and I use it every day.

    You heathen, hast thou not heard of gvim?

  7. Text Editors... by Big+Sean+O · · Score: 5, Interesting · on Python IDE for Mac OS X?

    If I'm learning a language (as opposed to working on a project with others), I find I seldom need all the bells and whistles an IDE provides.

    I know of two text editors that provide excellent Python integration.

    * BBEdit: http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/index.sht ml
    * Vim: http://macvim.org/OSX/index.php

    I like Vim better for two reasons. First, it is slightly cheaper; and secondly it has the words Don't Panic inscribed
    in large friendly letters on its cover.
