why is "set background=dark" not a default option in vim? do people still use black-on-white terminal emulators frequently enough?
@devurandom Don't you ? It's so much easier on the eye.
@devurandom That's true. The key is not to use a desktop environment ;) Anyway, it's hard to find a default that suits everyone so, I don't know ? Maybe the person who chose that default for vim uses a light-background terminal ?
