Ya I think it's a bit of the dunning-kruger effect at work. He's been using the editor for 2 weeks and can see what it needs more than people who have been using it for years.
I think you've misread my post, which is probably my fault. I don't see "what it needs" I tried to state "what made my life hard when I started using it, and what it seems would make that curve easier". I think they are different statements, and I hope that comes out of the text.
I am absolutely not saying that Vim is broken or that Vim is bad for the people that love Vim, I'm saying that Vim doesn't seem to meet expectations of people coming to it fresh. I think the idea of having different distros would help alleviate some of the pain. It looks like Cream has made a good go of it, but sadly no Mac version :(
