Personally, I am ecstatic that Vim is grounded in vi. I am/was a vi user and the transition has been entirely seamless. My friend suggested Vim to me and now we trade tips that we picked up from being core Vim or core Vi users. Having Vim grounded in vi, in my opinion, is also a great thing since, again, in my opinion, vi is the ultimate in efficiency. There is so much I can do in vi many many times faster than a big IDE editor. Often to the extent that I'll leave the IDE, make the changes in vi, and then go back. Vim carrying on this tradition is very honorable! Those are just my 2 cents. Good question! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
