> Or just up and die

Why would you bash VIM by saying it should die? Just move over to something else and use the "Mom Rule."

I was observing that with this new update, VIM is increasingly becoming an inferior Emacs. I argue that it should either die, because Emacs does what it's trying to do better, or distinguish itself in the editor space, like other Vi clones, by emphasizing simplicity over extreme flexibility.
