Wow, lftp has support for bittorrent? I may never use bittorrent-curses again! I understand where you are coming from, Kazuo, but I must say that I'm in the "aesthetics and functionality aren't mutually exclusive" camp. While I would not use the toolbar in Gvim at any size, I don't think it hurts to make it at least look nice. If fashion dictates that Gvim needs a toolbar which is 48px tall, then I say that we should put together a knock-your-socks-off toolbar. The kind of users who feel that is a waste of space surely have already discovered :set go-=T. That said, I feel that educating potential users about Vim's huge productivity features would be a better use of effort. No matter how nice the toolbar looks, that alone won't keep a user hooked through the "insert mode is weird" phase of the learning curve. But if more people knew about text objects, the time/energy savings could make Keanu Reeves happy again. -- Erik Falor Registered Linux User #445632 http://counter.li.org
