+
+							*quotes*
+Here are some nice quotes about Vim that I collected from news and mail.
+
+
+vim (vim) noun - Ebullient vitality and energy.  [Latin, accusative of vis,
+strength]  (Dictionary)
+
+Vim is so much better than vi that a great many of my old vi :map's became
+immediately obsolete! (Tony Nugent, Australia)
+
+Coming with a very GUI mindset from Windows, I always thought of people using
+Vi as some kind of outer space alien in human clothes.  Once I tried I really
+got addicted by its power and now I found myself typing Vim keypresses in the
+oddest places! That's why I would like to see Vim embedded in every
+application which deals with text editing.  (José Fonseca)
+
+I was a 12-year emacs user who switched to Vim about a year ago after finally
+giving up on the multiple incompatible versions, flaky contributed packages,
+disorganized keystrokes, etc.  And it was one of the best moves I ever made.
+(Joel Burton)
+
+Although all of the programs were used during the preparation of the new and
+revised material, most of the editing was done with Vim versions 4.5 and 5.0
+under GNU-Linux (Redhat 4.2).  (Arnold Robbins, Israel, author of "Learning
+the Vi editor")
+
+Out of all the open software i've ever seen and used, and i've seen a lot, Vim
+is the best, most useful and highest quality to work with, second only to the
+linux kernel itself.  (Peter Jay Salzman)
+
+It's well worth noting that the _entirety_ of SourceForge was written using
+Vim and its nifty PHP syntax highlighting.  I think the entire SF.net tech
+staff uses Vim and we're all excited to have you aboard! (Tim Perdue)
+
+Vim is one of a select bunch of tools for which I have no substitute.  It is
+a brilliant piece of work! (Biju Chacko)
+
+A previous girlfriend of mine switched to emacs.  Needless to say, the
+relationship went nowhere.  (Geoffrey Mann)
+
+I rarely think about Vim, in the same way that I guess a fish rarely thinks
+about water.  It's the environment in which everything else happens.  I'm a
+fairly busy system administrator working on a lot of different platforms.  Vim
+is the only thing that's consistent across all my systems, and it's just about
+the only thing that doesn't break from time to time.  When a new system comes
+in the door without Vim, I install it right away.  Great to have a tool that's
+the same everywhere, that's completely reliable, so I can ignore it and think
+about other things.  (Pete Schaeffer)
+
+Having recently succeeded in running Vim via telnet through a Nokia
+Communicator, I can now report that it works nicely on a Palm Pilot too.
+(Allan Kelly, Scotland)
+
+You've done a tremendous job with 'VIM', Bram!  The more I use it, the more
+impressed I get (I am an old 'vi' die hard who once started out with early
+versions of 'emacs' in the late 1970's and was relieved by finding 'vi' in the
+first UNIX I came across in 1983).  In my opinion, it's about time 'VIM'
+replace 'emacs' as the standard for top editors.  (Bo Thide', Sweden)
+
+I love and use Vim heavily too.  (Larry Wall)
+
+Vi is like a Ferrari, if you're a beginner, it handles like a bitch, but once
+you get the hang of it, it's small, powerful and FAST! (Unknown)
+Vim is like a new model Ferrari, and sounds like one too - "VIIIIIIMMM!"
+(Stephen Riehm, Germany)
+
+Schon bei Nutzung eines Bruchteils der Vim-Funktionen wird der Benutzer recht
+schnell die Vorzuege dieses Editors kennen- und schaetzenlernen.
+Translated: Even when only using a fraction of Vim-functions, the user will
+quickly get used to and appreciate the advantages of this editor.  (Garry
+Glendown, conclusion of an article on Vim in iX magazine 9/1998)
+
+I've recently acquired the O'Reilly book on Vi (it also discusses Vim
+in-depth), and I'm amazed at just how powerful this application is.  (Jeffrey
+Rankin)
+
+This guide was written using the Windows 9.x distribution of gvim, which is
+quite possibly the greatest thing to come along since God created the naked
+girl.  (Michael DiBernardo)
+
+Boy, I thought I knew almost everything about Vim, but every time I browse the
+online documentation, I hit upon a minor but cool aspect of a Vim feature that
+I didn't know before!  I must say the documentation is one the finest I've
+ever seen in a product -- even better than most commercial products.
+(Gautam Mudunuri)
+
+Vim 4.5 is really a fantastic editor.  It has sooooo many features and more
+importantly, the defaults are so well thought out that you really don't have
+to change anything!!  Words cannot express my amazement and gratitude to the
+creators of Vim.  Keep it up.  (Vikas, USA)
+
+I wonder how long it will be before people will refer to other Vi editors as
+Vim clones?  (Darren Hiebert)
+
+I read about [auto-positioning-in-file-based-on-the-errors-from-make] in one
+of those "Perfect Programmer's Editor" threads and was delighted to discover
+that Vim already supports it.  (Brendan Macmillan, Australia)
+
+I just discovered Vim (5.0) and I'm telling everyone I know about it!
+I tell them Vim stands for Vi for the new (M)illenium.  Thanks so much!
+(Matt F. Valentine)
+
+I think from now on "vi" should be called "Vim Imitation", not the other way
+around.  (Rungun Ramanathan)
+
+The Law of Vim:
+For each member b of the possible behaviour space B of program P, there exists
+a finite time t before which at least one user u in the total user space U of
+program P will request b becomes a member of the allowed behaviour space B'
+(B' <= B).
+In other words: Sooner or later everyone wants everything as an option.
+(Negri)
+
+Whenever I move to a new computing platform, the first thing I do is to port
+Vim.  Lately, I am simply stunned by its ease of compilation using the
+configure facility.  (A.M. Sabuncu, Turkey)
+
+The options are really excellent and very powerful.  (Anish Maharaj)
+
+The Spring user-interface designs are in, and word from the boutiques is that
+80x24 text-only mode is back with a *vengeance! Vi editor clone Vim burst onto
+March desk-tops with a dazzling show of pastel syntax highlights for its 5.0
+look.  Strident and customizable, Vim raises eyebrows with its interpretation
+of the classic Vi single-key macro collection.

+
+I just wanted to take this opportunity to let you know that Vim 5 ROCKS!
+Syntax highlighting: how did I survive without it?!  Thank you for creating
+mankind's best editor!  (Mun Johl, USA)
+
+Thanks again for Vim.  I use it every day on Linux.  (Eric Foster-Johnson,
+author of the book "UNIX Programming Tools")
+
+The BEST EDITOR EVER (Stuart Woolford)
+
+I have used most of Vim's fancy features at least once, many frequently, and I
+can honestly say that I couldn't live with anything less anymore.  My
+productivity has easily doubled compared to what it was when I used vi.
+(Sitaram Chamarty)
+
+I luv Vim.  It is incredible.  I'm naming my first-born Vimberly.  (Jose
+Unpingco, USA)
+
+Hint:  "Vim" is "vi improved" - much better! (Sven Guckes, Germany)
+
+I use Vim every day.  I spend more time in Vim than in any other program...
+It's the best vi clone there is.  I think it's great.  (Craig Sanders,
+Australia)
+
+I strongly advise using Vim--its infinite undo/redo saved me much grief.
+(Terry Brown)
+
+Thanks very much for writing what in my opinion is the finest text editor on
+the planet.  If I were to get another cat, I would name it "Vim".
+(Bob Sheehan, USA)
+
+I typed :set all and the screen FILLED up with options.  A whole screen of
+things to be set and unset.  I saw some of my old friends like wrapmargin,
+modelines and showmode, but the screen was FILLED with new friends!   I love
+them all!   I love Vim!   I'm so happy that I've found this editor!  I feel
+like how I once felt when I started using vi after a couple of years of using
+ed.  I never thought I'd forsake my beloved ed, but vi ... oh god, vi was
+great.  And now, Vim.  (Peter Jay Salzman, USA)
+
+I am really happy with such a wonderful software package.  Much better than
+almost any expensive, off the shelf program.  (Jeff Walker)
+
+Whenever I reread the Vim documentation I'm overcome with excitement at the
+power of the editor.  (William Edward Webber, Australia)
+
+Hurrah for Vim!! It is "at your fingertips" like vi, and has the extensions
+that vi sorely needs: highlighting for executing commands on blocks, an easily
+navigable and digestible help screen, and more.  (Paul Pax)
+
+The reason WHY I don't have this amazingly useful macro anymore, is that I
+now use Vim - and this is built in!! (Stephen Riehm, Germany)
+
+I am a user of Vim and I love it.  I use it to do all my programming, C,
+C++, HTML what ever.  (Tim Allwine)
+
+I discovered Vim after years of struggling with the original vi, and I just
+can't live without it anymore.  (Emmanuel Mogenet, USA)
+
+Emacs has not a bit of chance to survive so long as Vim is around.  Besides,
+it also has the most detailed software documentation I have ever seen---much
+better than most commercial software!  (Leiming Qian)
+
+This version of Vim will just blow people apart when they discover just how
+fantastic it is! (Tony Nugent, Australia)
+
+I took your advice & finally got Vim & I'm really impressed.  Instant convert.
+(Patrick Killelea, USA)
+
+Vim is by far my favorite piece of shareware and I have been particularly
+pleased with version 3.0.  This is really a solid piece of work.  (Robert
+Colon, USA)
+
+Vim is a joy to use, it is so well thought and practical that I wonder why
+anybody would use visual development tools.  Vim is powerful and elegant, it
+looks deceptively simple but is almost as complex as a 747 (especially when I
+look at my growing .vimrc), keep up that wonderful job, Vim is a centerpiece
+of the free software world.  (Louis-David Mitterand, USA)
+
+I cannot believe how great it is to use Vim.  I think the guys at work are
+getting tired of hearing me bragging about it.  Others eyes are lighting up.
+(Rick Croote)
+
+Emacs takes way too much time to start up and run, it is too big and bulky for
+effective use and the interface is more confusing than it is of any help.  Vim
+however is short, it is fast, it is powerful, it has a good interface and it
+is all purpose.  (Paal Ditlefsen Ekran)
+
+From the first time I got Vim3.0, I was very enthusiastic.  It has almost no
+problems.  The swapfile handling and the backup possibilities are robust, also
+the protection against editing one file twice.  It is very compatible to the
+real VI (and that is a MUST, because my brain is trained over years in using
+it).  (Gert van Antwerpen, Holland)
+
+Visual mode in Vim is a very powerful thing! (Tony Nugent, Australia)
+
+I have to say that Vim is =THE= single greatest piece of source code to ever
+come across the net (Jim Battle, USA).
+
+In fact, if you do want to get a new vi I'd suggest Vim-3.0.  This is, by
+far, the best version of vi I've ever seen (Albert W. Schueller).
+
+I should mention that Vim is a very good editor and can compete with anything
+(Ilya Beloozerov).
+
+To tell the truth sometimes I used elvis, vile, xvi, calvin, etc.  And this is
+the reason that I can state that Vim is the best! (Ferenc Deak, Hungary)
+
+Vim is by far the best editor that I have used in a long time, and I have
+looked at just about every thing that is available for every platform that I
+use.  Vim is the best on all of them.  (Guy L. Oliver)
+
+Vim is the greatest editor since the stone chisel.  (Jose Unpingco, USA)
+
+I would like to say that with Vim I am finally making the 'emacs to vi'
+transition - as an Editor it is so much better in many ways: keyboard layout,
+memory usage, text alteration to name 3.  (Mark Adam)
+
+In fact, now if I want to know what a particular setting does in vi, I fire up
+Vim and check out its help!  (Nikhil Patel, USA)
+
+As a vi user, Vim has made working with text a far more pleasant task than
+before I encountered this program.  (Steinar Knutsen, Norway)
+
+I use Vim since version 3.0.  Since that time, it is the ONLY editor I use,
+with Solaris, Linux and OS/2 Warp.  I suggest all my friends to use Vim, they
+try, and they continue using it.  Vim is really the best software I have ever
+downloaded from the Internet, and the best editor I know of.  (Marco
+Eccettuato, Italy)
