Heh. :) Fair enough, though. > A regression from what? An unsupported third party application? Yeah, pretty much. It's expectation setting, really -- if people are used to using /opt/sfw/bin/vim -g (or the like), then it'll be hard to sell them on moving vim to the WOS but removing a pretty major feature. *I* don't care, 'cause I never use the GUI, and it's certainly not a regression in a very narrow sense, but ... > Also, as I recall netbeans runs on multiple platforms. If this is the case, > shouldn't it include it's own vim? Pardon for probably getting the distinction between netbeans and Sun Studio all mixed up, but I'm probably talking about the latter. And it *does* come with its own vim. But one thing the ARCs like to emphasize is to use bundled tools if at all possible. And to pressure the teams integrating those tools to make themselves usable by as many consumers as want them. So there is, I think, a reasonably strong argument to have GUI support in the WOS version of vim.
