Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I have found Bram to be surprisingly hostile to power users, which seems to go against the nature of Vim. In particular, I found this issue to be especially painful, although it appears to have reached some compromise after 18 months of discussion:<p><a href="https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/2841" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/2841</a><p>To me one of the nicest things about using Vim (with defaults) as my primary coding environment / editor is that I can SSH into any machine and immediately feel at home and be just as productive as on my personal machine. Unfortunately this relies on sane defaults, otherwise I need to bring my .vimrc with me when doing this.<p>It may seem silly, but I actually switched to Ubuntu 18.04 as my default image when provisioning servers, away from Debian, because Debian has included the version of Vim with the issue mentioned above. I quickly tired of typing :set mouse-=a after opening every file. I still have to type :set paste pretty frequently.<p>Both features seem too magical to me. For a keyboard-first application like Vim, it seems strange to be so opinionated about what my mouse does. Auto-indent never seems to do the right thing for me, I'd rather it just be off by default (or ignore when large multi-line blocks are pasted).<p>I don't really expect the project to bend to my opinions but I don't think I'm the only one who thinks this goes against the general branding of Vim.
