From TextMate to Vim

Re:From TextMate to Vim by carbon8 on Monday August 03, 2009 @05:18PM (#740130)

I switch back and forth between TextMate and MacVim. MacVim is slightly, annoyingly slow; TextMate feels more natural (including smooth, fast block editing without modes); TextMate doesn't have split view or buffers. To be honest, I'm not that happy with either. I've tried emacs a few times because Aquamacs is a nice app, but emacs makes my vim-trained brain hurt and I end up wresting with it and giving up.

MacVim is slow? Since when?

Compared to `xterm -e vim`, yes. By that measure, so is gvim and every other GUI vim wrapper. MacVim just comes with quite a few plugins, which may explain the commenter's experience.
