yeah
I keep meaning to learn viml
but it's awful
I don't really grok python (ruby is my thing) but it might be
more useful for me
but the vast majority of plugins are viml, so it doesn't really
help you to fix bugs in them or extend them
I was hoping timl would get developed some more, but seems not to be

yeah
