About 3 months ago, I've mentioned I [started to use Vim as my primary editor](/2011/12/26/vim/), and now I can only open Vim and Xcode in my daily job(my primary job is coding with Ruby and Rails, and Objective-C is just for fun).

[Here](https://github.com/kaochenlong/eddie-vim) is my current vim configuration, feel free to use it, and welcome to give me your suggestion(or criticism). I took some screenshots of my computer and laptop:

MacVim, on iMac with Mac OS X Lion:

Non-GUI Vim, on iMac with Mac OS X Lion:

the icons and fonts of the bottom are pretty nice, right? you can check on [this](https://github.com/scotu/ubuntu-mono-powerline), or download from [here](/downloads/files/2012/ubuntu-mono-powerline-fonts.zip), and unzip them to `~/.font`.

Windows XP, Vim on Windows? I know.. but it's still working, right?

### Keep polishing

Vim is a pretty awesome and interesting editor, hope can keep polishing it in my daily jobs :)
