So, I decided last week to give VIM and Emacs a try, for no other reason than I can.

I found emacs a bit clunky, but VIM is actually starting to grow on me.

Can anyone recommend some good sites where I can learn about configuring vim, nothing major, but setting different indents for different languages would be handy.

    The official website or even others' repositories on Github should help you understand how the whole things works (I would also recommend "splitting" your configuration files).

    As for your second question, here's how I would do it for Python for example:

    autocmd Filetype python setlocal expandtab tabstop=4 shiftwidth=4 softtabstop=4

    Thanks, I’ll take a look tonight.

    I don’t know what it is about vim, but I find it very nice to work in.

    Wouldn’t give up my ide for complex stuff though (yet)
