I'm pretty sure it's airline (says buffers in the top right which corresponds to airline's buffer line feature).

What's cumbersome about how vim handles soft line wrapping? I use vim primarily for non-code and have never had a problem with linebreaks.

What do you mean? And @Lailoken, split windows are extremely common.

For chrome, I'd recommend cvim. For firefox, I'd recommend pentadactyl over vimperator, though for basic usage they are mostly the same. I've pretty much stopped using application launchers since switching to GNU/linux. Haven't had my mouse plugged in for days either. I typed this with vim using the pterosaur plugin…

What do you see in terminator?

The other solution is to stop using the mouse altogether. There's the added benefit of doing things much more efficiently. Mine is disconnected at all times unless I'm gaming. Constantly switching from the keyboard to the mouse and back has always hurt my hand regardless of the mouse or how I held it.

I have several stages of backup. My most important and frequently changing files are mostly txt and other small files. I have things automated so that these will all be backed up with rsync from my usb drive to a ~20mb truecrypt container and then synced with gdrive, spideroak, and dropbox. I have progressively bigger…

In other news... neovim

I've yet to test it, but it's next on the list. Pretty much anything beats this article at least. Terminator makes me throw up in my mouth.

I appreciate your admission of vapidity.

For people who like efficiency instead of endless clicking and busy gui, I'd recommend ranger, which works with cygwin last time I checked.

I'm calling bs here. You claim you have experience, and you can't even give a single example? I seriously doubt it. Your opinion is immaterial to me as there is no reason to use Windows. There's no reason to use the internet. There's no reason to use a computer. I'm not a sysadmin, and I benefit greatly from the use…

Pretty late to the party, but I'd recommend an extension manager like Context. Most of the extensions I use are only useful in certain situations, so it makes sense to group them and turn them on and off when needed.

Please enlighten us as to how you came up with this 50% figure. PowerShell is total garbage and is a very sad comparison to what you can do with pretty much any default terminal emulator on any distro.

That is nothing more than an opinion. The terminal is the BEST part of any linux distro as far as I'm concerned. I don't see the command line ever being obviated. When it comes to efficiency, I think there is little contest. Just consider what might be the most common task for someone who doesn't frequently use the…

I'll recommend Oh My ZSH which might help make the setup less intimidating. Just enabling autocompletion is a start.

Exactly. I'm not trying to convince you that it would be better for you; I'm just saying that I'm using linux because it fits my needs better not just because of some irrational hatred for apple. I would say that there have been a lot of advances in linux since 07 though (we have steam now.. getting somewhere here :)).

I guess I'll try to be more specific if you think that I don't have good reasons for preferring linux. This is just my preference. I have a pretty much mouseless setup that would be nowhere as easy to setup on OSX.

Well I probably should have elaborated. It's a huge step backwards for me in terms of customizability. Darwin doesn't change the fact that it's closed source for the most part and costs money, but that's not really relevant to me. I like to have control over most everything on my system (window manager and shortcuts,…
