Thanks! done gVim installation and now I can run VIM from commandline and powershell!
You know, I don't promote this because I do it for vanity. There is a very good reason why there are a lot of unix developers on Apple Mac. If it is within your reach, go for one instead. Otherwise use Linux, which I don't recommend for desktop. I personally Linux on server class installation.
In an Unix environment, you will be a different kind of software developer. Whether you consider it better will really depends on what you want yourself to be
Just my "biased", "flame-inflicting" opinion. I see a lot more competency in Unix developers as oppose to Windows ones. It's not the platform, it's the culture and the way of getting work done. There is so much gems lying in the Unix world that even after mingling in it for more than 15 years, I still find unexplored gems within unix repositories.
You will also observe there is inherently a different attitude in a software engineer whom is able to jump out of their comfort zone, learning to survive in environments that they weren't previously in. I wasn't born in the Apple environment. It adopted it after many years of working in MS-DOS and Windows up to Windows NT. Hence those that tell me they are not able to be productive in Apple Mac or there are software they can't use in Mac and that is the reason why are just pure excuses to me. It doesn't take a genius to use multiple operating systems. It just take an open-mind and adaptive attitude, that if you can't find something in somewhere, you learn to look for substitute and you make do with it or you find ways to make things work. There are situation that M$ Windows still make sense, so there is no need to discard it. But for a software developer in this era, if you tell me you can only do it in M$, you are either stucked in that environment for 2 reasons. One is your corporate environment, another one is your mind.
Learning VIM is not entirely about VIM, it's about what makes you wanna pick up the steep learning curve and find the beautiful side of it that numerous software developers had embraced it and still on it after so many years. You learn 5% of what VIM can do, you would have already been very versatile
With VIM, you learn the ecosystem that VIM lives in, and trust me when I say it is not Windows.
You will also find a lot more integration in VIM with the Unix environment
And you will be very interested to know this too
