It's not _that_ bad after all ;-) Surely I would also prefer having  
TextMate-alike under other unixalikes but once you create your  
environment for vim - it works very well and works practically the  
same everywhere. To ease the pain and smoothen the transition you may  
install "vimate" under OS X ;-)
