Yeah .. vim is my god too. You can do so many things with so little
keystrokes. And it basically has the best syntax highlighting I've ever
seen. With some easy tricks you can even let it highlight your own
functions. I haven't doen so, but I know it's possible :P... Also, it exists
on most servers so you can work directly on the server. Without having to
mess with (Samba) filesharing. Another advantage is that it runs both on
Linux as well as on Windows.

(ps. Ahbaid or anyone else .. how can I get code to re-fold. I've setup my
vim to fold every PHP function and class, which works when I load te file.
But when I'm done editing a certain block, what do I do to make it fold back
in again?)
