I really didn't think Peter said anything that was a flame. Perhaps he didn't read the whole thing, but I, too, initially walked away with the same conclusion was he did, and I *have* been using Vim for a long time. (I just know better because I've been here longer.) Suresh, on the other hand,

By default Vim (and vi) has always put the cursor on the end of a character that occupies multiple spaces on the screen. I don't know why this decision was taken, unless it was to make it easier to spot the difference between lines indented with tabs and those indented with spaces, but the cursor
