Once you've tried VIM, you'll never go back.

Mostly because you won't be able to exit VIM.

    I would use word for this, but I can’t close vim. I guess I’m learning LaTeX.

    Last night, I was talking to my brother - who's a mathematician by trade - and learned the following from him:

    LaTeX is Leslie Lamport's (hence La) macro package on top of TeX.

    I've never used it, but for around fifteen years I've been working around people who do ... And yet I never knew that.

    I used it a lot for university… and I did not know that.

    I did migrate to pandoc and markdown for a lot of stuff, with custom template files.

    An abyssal panda using pandoc. Who could have seen it coming.

    Markdown is very useful, but I don't think I've ever written enough to earn template files.

    My brother is one of the two smartest people I know and knows a lot of things I didn't know I didn't know. He's earned a lot of respect from me.
