I don't think so.
Always felt that syntax highlighting for instance is way overrated. Haven't
tried "ed" yet, but since I have already stripped down my everything to what
I thought was minimal, now that you mention it, this may be where I'm bound.
I do have a question:
You mentioned Vim's clientserver mode.
What's it good for?
Thanks,
CJ
