This is one of the main reasons I don't use that feature.  Also, I'm
not used to seeing the numbers on the left.

However, there was a patch posted to vim-dev recently to allow
adjusting the width of the column used for the numbers.  Care to test
it :-)?

Is this in parallel or in series?  I learned 'vi' first, but I only
knew the basics and Sun's /bin/vi is horrible for coding.  Then I used
emacs for a while, but switched to vim when my labs were in a room
with windows and we weren't allowed to install anything (vim fits on a
floppy).  I very quickly forgot most of the emacs commands I knew, and
I also learned how to configure vim for comfortable coding.  I've
since tried some IDEs like Code Warrior, JBuilder, NetBeans, and Source
Navigator, but vim is still the best (IMO, obviously).
