"Vim: The text editor review"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Vim?

I like the fact that you can speed up coding and editing texts in comparison to other text editors. It allows you to do fast editing and is almost similar to notepad++. I also like the fact that it does not freeze as often Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Vim?

It does not have a good support system outside of its forums.There forums provide very generic and basic support but cannot be compared to real customer service. Vim is also quite difficult to use and does not have exciting features featured on Microsoft visual Studio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
