This is like dropping support for Internet Explorer 6 in a website - code gets cleaner at the expense of a minor group of users getting a worse experience. I think it is a good tradeoff.
- gfodor 12y agoMore like IE3. Nobody uses ex mode.
- nXqd 12y agoIt's not true. Some still uses it extensively in the case of editing the last commands. But there is alternative way. I am happy that they will remove this mode in the future :)
