You don't get this trend? (If there is a trend.)

So let me explain: some people have no interest in using emacs. It is not helpful to make them use emacs. Vim grows plugins for any functionality which a vim user wanted. That functionality is presumably their intended workflow.

There is no domain of forbidden functionality which Vim is simply not allowed to do, that is ridiculous.



Hey, I'm just stating my opinion, not forbidding anything.

I'm not against adding features on vim, I'm suggesting that doing it that way isn't to the vim-ish way. My opinion is that when it comes to vim, unix is the whole IDE, not just vim itself.By no way I mean I hold the truth but it doesn't mean I can't have an opinion and discuss it here !

Having emacs as a dependency for some features is ridiculous.
