Since we're talking about this, I have a somewhat related question..
If backwards compatibility was not an issue at all, what would be changed in vim? How many people would prefer it if at some point there was a significant break from current codebase and vimL would be changed to something similar to ruby or python, even if that broke ALL currently available scripts, maybe there was a split into separate terminal and gui versions that would share some libraries. I think I'd be in favor of all of that even though I realize it won't happen. But it's interesting to discuss which things are being kept because people use them and like them and what's being kept exclusively for backwards compatibility. Sorry if this was discussed to death before, I don't think I've seen this raised and quick googling turns up nothing. -ak -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
