Yes this is the point. So its ok to implement a email client/nttp reader/web browser/bittorrent client in vim if you can disable then with :set vim-=emacs? No its not, its plain wrong. Unix philosophy is not about software usage, is about software *development*. Is about decision you made on writing them. You can't go and implement all the cool features that exist for the sake of implementing it. So, no the unix user are not covered, because for they what matter is software development. Dont matter if this can be disabled. I always used lftp with joy, but when they implemented bittorrent support, I stopped using it. Why? Because its wrong for a ftp client support a protocol completely divergent. And I know of lot of ppl that stopped too, and its is, in my opinion, the best ftp client. Unix users are not blind to this matters like windows users (all this, is about "generic" users, not about all), for they how software are implemented is part of how good is a software. And vim have a lot of unix heritage. Regards, Kazuo -- «Dans la vie, rien n'est à craindre, tout est à comprendre» Marie Sklodowska Curie. -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
