Among other things, because it doesn't do the obnoxious auto-indent thing that you have to work around with :set paste. I have no objections to vim as an editor, but it would be nice for vi to be, er, vi. vim isn't really vi; it's something that was originally based on vi and is now something slightly different. (Of course, nvi isn't exactly vi either, but it's a lot closer.) This isn't really new information. I guess I'm just speaking up to represent those people who do indeed care about tighter compatibility to the original vi than vim offers. I won't lose lots of sleep if I lose this argument. :) -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
