FW: What is Eclipse Orion

So you really must have liked WordStar then. All those cranky control key combinations.....

Then again VI and VIM both have that problem, don't they?

That's where I really like Orion because it gets past all of that falderal. I just wish more customers would let me leave it running.

VIM Really? No no no. JOE! Now there's an easy to use editor. VIM? That thing has taught me new swear words. It's horrifying!!

Jack,

True enough! I've tried it and it works well.

Our customers usually insist on the source code staying on the system
we are working on, as opposed to us downloading it to our systems to
do the work (RDi is the exception to the rule there) so Orion is an
excellent way to do that, without having to endure EDTF.

Now that BASH is available and VI is on the system we use those occasionally
too if the web instance for Orion is problematic to the customer. I'm
hoping VIM is announced and supported by IBM soon, and yes we could
download it and get it running but it's not the same....
