Some of the most useful plugins for Vim and Emacs to counteract bad defaults, are no longer working due to breaking editor changes with insufficient plugin maintenance.<p>I&#x27;ve had to comment out so many shims like that in my configs and tolerate horrid default editor behavior. Too many problems, not enough solutions. Entropy increase.<p>Years later when someone posts another fix, it feels so good to reach another peak of seamless editor behavior. There&#x27;s always a hundred other little annoying problems with an editor (any editor). But nipping even just one flaw in the bud for a few more months produces such b l i s s.
