Summary: "No system to monitor or control the population will work because the entire population would obsess over gaming the system."
Except no one cares enough to game it, or ever would.
Sigh Another programmer who thinks that his buddies who obsess over gaming systems represent more than .001% of the population in question. Next.

Definitely the best.
As a student, I had time to learn vim the slow, hard, purist way, and I struggled for weeks simply practicing, drilling, and tutorial-ing.
Then I picked up these cheat-sheet tutorials and WOW! Just code as usual, but in vi with the first easy cheat-sheet lying in front of you; almost no productivity hit, and you seamlessly build up the cheat-sheet 'till you know all the commands!
The only way to learn vim, I think.

This caught my eye...
And then I remembered that my safaribooksonline subscription lets me read all the o'reilly books I want, and thousands of other tech books, for $20.00 a month.
For anyone who wants to use this coupon, I'm not sure why you wouldn't just get yourself a month on safari... or a free trial for that matter.... Any ideas?
