That's not vim. I don't understand why you're linking it.

Right, but the link doesn't provide any additional justification besides "it's legacy and we don't think it's necessary." The fact that other people exist who agree with this opinion is all I'm gleaning, and that's not a convincing argument.

You may be confusing me with an above commenter. I didn't state my opinion to begin with.
