I found the auto-retyping-animation product description on the site very misleading. As I scanned the page I read "Dark theme for Vim", and was immediately confused. Only when I returned to the top of the page did I notice that there was some silly animation which "retyped" Vim for a variety of other editors.

Why not just accurately say what it is?

Maybe a smaller line under it akin to "and 227 others" would make that clearer
What is it, then, if not a dark theme for Vim as wel as a bunch of other editors?
You're right, it's Vim + a bunch of other editors, but when you scan the page that's not what you read - it scans as "Dark theme for vim", not "Dark theme for vim and a bunch of other editors"
