Vim has all this, that's how it got as big as it is -- people make lists like the above and the Vim author responds. So if we're going to import [x]vile, we should import Vim instead as its got a larger FreeBSD userbase. That said, I don't see us importing any 'vi' clones, so why is another editor to import being suggested? -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
