So, what's going on these days? nice sir! i conjecture that vim will keep getting more and more popular, even in the distant future, such as 5000+ years later. my reasoning is that vim's user-interface is so innovative for mammals with 10 fingers, it might even be near shannon's channel limit for finger-to-keyboard data transfer. so in 5000 years, assuming we evolve towards higher intelligence, we are bound to see increased vim population, until it becomes the standard user interface across other apps. of course, unless we evolve to grow other output organs that have higher bandwidth than the 10 fingers. but even then, vim will be a miraculous gift to other mammals before us that still have those 10 fingers. (i'm not a prophet - in case you read this 5k years later). rgrds, cm -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
