well, the sibling reply was meant for the upper reply...sry...
Well, as a practical thinking mind, I don't care if the code is open or not as long as the editor actually serves. Free products better keep source open or once the guy in charge feel like quitting because he got bored, the product is gone forever. Otoh, commercial app at least has a motivation to keep it going as long as it's a good product with good amount of followers.
And I for one believe, many hobby programmers doesn't really beat up a few payed programmers.
So, you can say that vim isn't for people who just want to get the editor to work and get the thing done with minimal gui configuration, but first read the vim doc for a week, then edit vim configuration for the next week, then start coding?
