I am guessing you are familiar with this video on vim?

Found it tonight when watching the URL you posted.

Maybe I (a simple muggle) would see the advantage of text driven interfaces if I was able to remember all the key commands, but since I find this challenging, Xfce is easier to use than Gnome, Notepad is better than Edlin, Eclipse is better than vim, etc. 

I guess the problem is that when using ssh to connect to a remote server, there are no GUI IDEs you can used to edit your files or code? Please let me know if there is a way to use a GUI IDE to files/code on a remote server via an ssh session?

I need to learn Eclipse.

(PS: I do accept the reality that vim is a powerful editor for those who really know how to use it)
