To dispel any misunderstandings here: I never meant to imply that Vim is only for programming. I myself am one of those users who use Vim more for non-programming related tasks, namely for LaTeX editing, writing plain text or markdown notes, etc. My point was that _most_ people (presumably) use it for programming and I think it prudent to spend my (limited) time supporting the majority of users. Implementing a feature that most people would disable, and that already has an equivalent (or arguably better) Vim-native feature may be considered time poorly spent. Of course, if enough people would request this feature, then I would reconsider. All that being said, I personally would think it was neat if MacVim did support Versions and Auto Save. I'd probably have it turned on all the time, except for when I was programming. Björn -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist. Do not top-post!
