True, nobody is forcing anybody to defend the feature, but what do you
expect to happen when you complain about it?
Why does everyone have to come in and say basically the same thing
in response to my opinion?
Why do you have to state, and re-state your opinion in the first
place?
It’s not like I’m suggesting that it be removed.
Again I have to ask: Then why did you complain at all?
To me it seems like you're implying that since it can't be perfect--by
YOUR definition of perfection, for YOUR use cases--that it shouldn't
be there at all.
I’m just stating the claim that what you really want is real version
control, not a half-assed form of it.
I am looking forward to the persistent undo feature, and no, "real
version control" is _not_ what I want; I have access to various
version control systems, and I do use them, but I still want _this_
feature in Vim.
Yes, I agree that there will be problems, and that it's yet another
feature, and so on. It still has merit, and considering it's #4 on
the voting page means that a lot of people think so.

Version control has its place, and this feature has its place. Just
because it can't always be shared doesn't make it "useless," as you
stated in an earlier reply. (Of course, you also said "only a bit
useful" in another reply--which is it?)
