ViEmu for SQL

Another quick note today (it’s late, and I need to sleep :)), and again it’s VIM related. The dude that made ViEmu that I mentioned a couple of days back has come up with another plugin - this time for SQL Server 2005 Managment Studio. It weighs in at a hefty USD$99.95 which, in [...]

ViEmu - are you the answer?

After all my ranting and raving on what I think would be awesome to have as an IDE, I somehow stumbled across exactly what I was trying to describe. ViEmu looks to be the perfect combination of VIM and Visual Studio.

Office Registration and Activation
