~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are some things that Vim does not try to be:
    <...>
    * Vim is not a compiler.
    <...>
    * Vim is not an operating system.
    * Vim is not another Emacs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It doesn't explicitly say it in this section, but vim is a _text
editor_, not a debugger.

IMO it works exceptionally well :-).
