I've grown accustomed to using Emacs with Vim key bindings. Not sure where that puts me.

Is it bad if I use nano? I was taught to use pico.

By the way, how can I learn vim? I have seen other people use it and it is awesome, but I am not particularly proficient with it.

Netbeans is written in Java so naturally it's slow and buggy as hell, but it's still the best IDE I've used. I just wish it had better C++ support. It's like it only supports the parts of C++ with direct analogues in Java; no support for C++1x or even moderately complex template code.

After coming to the conclusion that vim is silly I recenty switched to emacs.
The default keybindings don't seem as intuitive though.
By the way, did you emacs users change many keybindings or do you stick to the defaults?
