Maybe because gvim is really *much* nicer than plain console-based vim sessions. The vim-lite port exists for those cases when you really want to install just plain good ol' vim without all the bells and whistles. You can also install editors/vim with WITHOUT_X11='true' to avoid the pulling of all this X11 stuff. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
