Hi,
As a relatively new Vim user I have gathered that vi is an old text editor that has spawned many so called clones and Vim is one of them. As I read the documentation for Vim, I feel that half the text I'm reading is about how this command is different from how it is in vi or not and all the things that are not possible to do in vi. Why doesn't Vim leave vi behind? As a new user I do not benefit from all the vi-information. The only two reasons I see why vi should continually be referenced are 1) there are still a large number of people using vi and who will be very confused if they are ever forced to work in Vim 2) sentimentality and appreciation for vi as the mother editor The last one, in my opinion, is not a valid reason to include so much vi-information in the help files. What do you think? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Vim-and-vi-tp23384435p23384435.html Sent from the Vim - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
