Too much bloat.

Posted by: Anonymous Coward on May 03, 2006 03:34 PM

Vim *is* useful for quick edits. Otherwise its commands are difficult to use compared to a full-fledged editor (like emacs).

So what's the point of adding yet more features to it? Emacs is much more mature (and programmable).

I think people are adding features left and right without thinking, a common practice when you have too much time free.

I don't mind---just make sure vim-minimal is still available. The rest is bloat....
