Disable syntax highlighting. I understand that won't affect vim-tiny, but it would make vi much more usable on machines with vim-nottiny installed. No, I'm not against syntax highlighting, I use it in emacs. The problem is that the colors[1] are unreadable except on when the terminal background is black and there are no lights on in the room. I realize a lot of hackers work that way, but a lot of us don't. And yes, of course you can adjust the colors. But if the point of the change is to make vim-when-invoked-as-vi more like nvi, then disabling syntax highlighting would be a good thing. Steve [1] Dark blue on black.
