I think you miss a major thing here: if you put vim with just it's top 100 plugins up against Sublime Text, I think it will easily lose. Why would I even use that? It's because of the long tail of thousands of plugins (your 1% usage) that I choose vim/emacs (more specifically, each power user chooses it because of the set of many of those top 100 hundred plugins + a handful of weird, obscure plugins that fit their needs perfectly.)
- tinco 13y agoMaybe I'm wrong. I don't think I have any non-top100 vim plugins installed. I could be underestimating the problem by a large margin. I sort of think that if just the top 100 plugins would be compatible, the authors of the non-top100 plugins would be motivated to migrate, as a sort of herd mentality thing.
- philwelch 13y agoThis is the same kind of short-sighted programmer selfishness that leads to idiotic ideas like "let's abolish time zones and just everyone use UTC". Do you realize how many man-years of other people's time and effort you're proposing to spend adding zero value to that software?
