Title: Jumbled, inconsistent, windows-tilted book for beginners
Product review: I had extremely high hopes for this book. I spend at least 12 hours a day using vim. My hope was that I'd learn a couple new things that would help me use vim more efficiently, or macros, or whatever.Unfortunately, this book is really not written for an experienced vim user. It is written for somebody who is scared of vi in general and needs a book to start with. The author goes over such mundane details as "how to get out of insert mode" to a horrifying degree.I didn't really learn anything reading this book. Vim comes with exceptional documentation, and this book seems to be nothing more than a digestion of that documentation.I really would recommend against this book for all but the very new-to-unix user.Oh, and the occasional commentary throughout the book about how unix vim isnt "smart enough" to do something the windows vim does just made me sick.
