Agreed, the current defaults are a major turn-off. Especially for first time users. Vim is incredibly frustrating without auto-indent.
The problem with vim is that you can't use it effectively unless you know almost everything that there is to know about it.
When it comes to vim, you're either a novice or an expert, there is no middle-ground.
- nbouscal 11y agoThat's just really not true. Vim has a massive middle ground. It has a plethora of features that you don't need to know about, but that make your life marginally easier when you do learn them. Getting up to parity with another editor takes a little bit more time than with a yet-another-WYSIWYG, but you can certainly use vim effectively after a day or two. Everything after that point is just bonus productivity.
