I failed several times due to the complexity of the code. I am sure everybody would profit if the code would be re-factored a bit. This was discussed several time, but unfortunately most of the users/developers see almost zero interest in that. One should just define some interfaces for buffer, window, etc. and then it would be much easier to build on top of that. 99% of the scripts could be reused, lot of them could be improved by writing faster C code. Myself I started to write some models for the buffer. The windowing system should work sthg. like links2 does, where different gui system would implement a driver for windowing etc. Porting would be much easier to new gui systems etc. etc. I am sure I will not hurt anybody, especially Bram, but vi/vim and ideas behind is/are a global inheritance.
