Why would it be a problem of rewriting vim in c++? Why should one call sthg. like that insane idea? Why would it be a problem to mention that? C++ has failed so far as a language because most of C programmers never took any effort to try to learn its powers, and people who wanted to learn an object oriented language were taken by the flux and landed on java world.
why would you make comments like "Jesus" or "god" on ideas like different datatype for view mode would be beneficial. Yes they would be if you are in view mode you do not need your datatype to be ready for insertion, however it would be faster to open, as splitting the file into any kind of linked list or similar is time consuming! And you do not need a PHD to understand that. > > That's up to Bram, of course, and you have to > understand that probably he won't be involved in any way until you show > a bit more of code. To be honest I did not participate in too many open source projects as I did not have too much time. But I think anybody thinks the same, if he/she spends time+energy in improving, he/she would like to see his changes upstream for milions of reasons. If that never happens, probably not everybody would go into infinit game of patches. One guy has ported for example vim 6.0 to windows mobile, but for one or other reason his changes were never integrated. If they would, I would not need to spend that much time with that. > Again: Vim is open source, so feel free to roll your own version.

You have to understand it ;) I know, but why "may not encourage". They do not want to have pain with that? They do not want the tool to evolve? > In my humble opinion, using "Jesus", "God" or something like that is a > very english way of showing amazement, and your "fantastic" ideas are a > bit amazing, yes. Please, don't feel offended by that ;) Amazement can have different tonalities. And his one was rather sarcastic, and that is of course not welcome. Why should he pollute the list by quoting somebodies paragraph and add "Jesus", or "God" etc. That is really disgusting. > > > "you are on the list for 1 week so shut up" etc. > >>>Nobody has told that...
