For what it's worth, I noticed the download count on Sourceforge for "Cream" is several times higher than the download count for "Vim without Cream". And, I assume this counts the downloads of all versions of each; there are a lot more versions of "Vim without Cream" than Cream itself. I'd guess there are a lot more users of Cream out there than this list cares to admit. I know it took me by surprise. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
