Anyone who has worked with Vim and wants to get more out of this legendary text editor can use the hacks from this book. It does not cover the basic tasks of using the editor but instead focuses on making life easier for more experienced Vim users.

4.0 out of 5 stars Expensive but pretty good, 31 Mar 2008
By Robert (London, England) - See all my reviews
The VIM mail list will answer any question you have about VIM. However it is helpful to have a clear map of the VIM territory. This book gives that map. It also is very well written and gives the reader the understanding to dig deeper.

The book is a centimetre thick which is a little slim for the price, which is a shame as there is a lot more detail that could be added. However I think the writer made the right decision about the level of content in order to attract readers that are new to VIM. I personally would have liked to know more about the thousands of VIM extensions (which were only touched upon) and the VIM scripting capabilities.
