Why? What is about color coded text that makes it difficult to even think about getting actual work done? Are you aware of the studies which show that color coded source editing is one of the quickest ways to avoid mistakes, and is also a boost to productivity? Why give up things like multilevel undo, quickfix window, the ability to extend vim with ruby, python, perl, etc... Why forfeit the wonderful filetype plugins of vim, filetype indenting, etc... Of course you are entitled to use vim however you choose, but I am just curious why (a few people) people don't like color coded source code while editing. -- Michael GnuPG Fingerprint: 4C56 7C23 8BD9 8B39 C4D4 B8F3 42FB 3634 31B5 E963
