I don't know what scale of projects you've worked on. When you're dealing 100K requests/second you very much do not want to immediately crash. It is absolutely the worst think your code can do.

OK, today is the day I donate to the children in Uganda. If I'd donated a penny every time I'd seen the vim splash screen, I'd have probably donated tens of thousands of dollars by now. Thank you Bram.
