What could be better than trying to graft pythonesque formatting
restrictions onto a C++-alike? It's certainly in keeping with
the more bizarre design goals of Plan9 and the Python-worship at
Google, and it gives Google their own pet language to put up next
to Microsoft's C#

No it doesn't. You don't have to dig very deeply to find
systems that have huge gobs of code written in C++, ObjC,
PL/I(excuse me, "PL/X") or, godhelpus, BLISS. It's not C's
fault that it's a more expressive language than any of these
alternatives.

as people with the steampunk versions of the code can pull
from my sccs, I don't have to care about the new gears, gauges,
and lovingly brassoed tubing that have been bolted on top.

it's
going to commit your changes. A real vi, when confronted with
`:exit', will truculently inform you that it doesn't know what
`exit' is, and will force you to leave the silent e off before it
saves your changes.
Vim is a pretty hateful beast, and `:exit' is just lagniappe.
