Likelihood to Recommend

AVImark

Avimark is very helpful with inventory, accounting, medical record keeping. Customer service is also amazing, they are very helpful most of the time when you call in to address an issue or ask them to help you figure out a shortcut way of doing things that would make everyones' jobs easier. We use Avimark to prompt for documents that we have created with "merge" words.

Vim

I would recommend Vim in any scenario where text files have to be viewed, created, or edited on GNU/Linux computers. Regardless if you need to quickly change a few things in a configuration file, or you need to write up a full document, Vim is great.I wouldn't use Vim to view, edit, or create anything that requires "rich-text". In other words, if you need to format the text (bolding, font colours, word-art, etc), then Vim isn't the tool to use.

Vim

  • The efficient modal editing makes it very fast to write/edit code as I think of it.
  • The customization and wide range of plugins let me do very specific things and automate parts of my workflow.
  • The fact that it runs inside a terminal simplifies my window management and just becomes another Tmux window in my workflow.

Cons

AVImark

  • Being able to adjust "remove appointment" options on the calendar. Would be nice to change the type to different stages of the exam (i.e. 'checked in', 'with tech', 'with doctor', 'checked out'), rather than just whether the appointment was kept, rescheduled, late, etc.
  • Inventory monitoring and receiving. There is little provided in terms of inventory control or alerting appropriate users if counts are off (like going into negatives). Variancing is also particularly time consuming and difficult
  • Better integration with other types of credit card processing companies or technology.

Vim

  • Without a doubt the hardest program to learn. It is a completely different paradigm of thinking compared to other editors
  • By default it doesn't have lots of fancy features you would find in larger IDE programs like code completion and linking
  • It lives in the command line so a user has to be comfortable with this interface

I don't consider the steep learning curve to be a hinderance on the overall usability. I would rate this a ten, but to be honest a lot of people do get hung up at the beginning and just abandon it. However, for people who have made the moderate effort to get over the hump, nothing can be more usable.

There is no commercial support for Vim. Thus, it will not get a mark beyond 5. However, community support is very good. You can easily find solutions for most of the problems in the community.

Alternatives Considered

AVImark

AVImark is not a monthly subscription, so costs are overall cheaper. Also, exit barriers are high for this type of product. It would be difficult to retrain an entire hospital on a new system and work through the transition period.

Vim

Vim's keybindings are a lot more complex than Notepad++. With that, comes a whole bunch of capability that Notepad++ just can't match. Emacs is comparable, in terms of capabilities--because Vim is built into so many unix systems, I chose to learn it instead of Emacs. Knowing both probably isn't a bad idea, but there's enough to learn in either camp to keep you busy

Vim

  • It always increases productivity.
  • Sometimes feature discovery is not easy. It could be documented well like how to install a plugin and if it supported well or not.
