> Also a lack of tab support really hurts it as a daily driving terminal.

For some, perhaps.

I've not needed tabbed terminals ever since vim got proper terminal support. I run shells within vim, so have them in splits, tabs, etc in a plain xterm.

Sorta like a tmux replacement, but with better editor support :-)



You hardcore vim folks are a different breed :-)


> You hardcore vim folks are a different breed :-)

Nah, we're just lazy :-)

Need a shell? Why leave vim? Need to connect to and issue SQL queries to diagnose a database? Why leave Vim?

The actual hardcore folk are those Emacs weenies.

Need a shell? Use Emacs.

Read email? Use Emacs.

Manage my calendar? Emacs.

Note taking? Static website builder? Browse websites? Git client?

Emacs, Emacs, Emacs and (you guessed it) Emacs.

Spreadsheet, File manager, Remote editing, Calculator, Dictionary/Thesaurus ... all Emacs.

Those guys seriously need a therapist ... of course, Emacs has that too (Good 'ol M-x doctor)


Emacs even has its own Vim emulator to solve Emacs lack of an editor!
