I tend to think that its a bit confusing why we default to a light
background setting in vim, when our default terminals all are dark.
I have not checked on any of the other flavors of Ubuntu, but at least
on our main desktop configuration, all terminals have a dark background.
This seems like a no-brainer, so I was thinking of uploading a fix before
FeatureFreeze, but I wanted to open up the discussion a bit wider in
case there are people who feel that this might be too radical of a change.
The change would be simple.. vim defaults to a light background, so in
the default vimrc for precise, we'd change it to have background=dark.
I have CC'd ubuntu-server, because I'm certain there are a lot of users
of non-Ubuntu desktop platforms who ssh into Ubuntu servers, and would
possibly be affected by this, whether negatively or positively.
I'd say yes to making dark default. It's something that's surprised me
early on when using Ubuntu post clean-install, but not enough to trigger
me to make a ticket about it.
I'm so used to doing the change now I don't think about it but it
probably would be of enough value.
