Nice, native-ish interface that supports all the VIM commands as well as the native Mac (command-O, etc.). I too used Xemacs in the mid 90's for a while, but the insanely long key commands (C-G C-X C-turn<em>head</em>and_cough ...) drove me nuts and gave me hand cramps. Why MacVim instead of Textmate, after 3 years of TM? TM is a great editor, but I work in several environments, and my brain needs one set of keystrokes to remember.</p> I just recently switched from Textmate to MacVim on the mac.
