as much as i like using the command line on the mac, BECAUSE it’s a mac i like to use gui software whenever possible.

one of the first things i do on a computer i’m going to use on a regular basis is install the pager most and Vim.

i tried macvim but it was not the vim experience i wanted. i have my .vimrc and .gvimrc in the obvious places but no joy. eventually gave up on it and started using textmate.

i started using macports because there were a few linux programs i wanted to use on the mac, the above mentioned most being one of them.

recently decided to see if there were a gui for macports and found porticus. browing through the software available i found gvim. plugged in my favourite .gvimrc and now i have a real working gvim on the mac.

well that was under leopard, dealing with macports under snow leopard is something i want to tackle when i have the time to do any troubleshooting.
