Comment 2 for bug 44269

Vim 7 adds some atractive features. Once Dapper ships with vim 6.4 it will be 'stuck' with an old version for 5 years. In a way it is similar to UVF exceptions for firefox.

Changes since vim 6.4

- Spell checking support for about 50 languages
- Intelligent completion for C, HTML, Ruby, Python, PHP, etc.
- Tab pages, each containing multiple windows
- Undo branches: never accidentally lose text again
- Vim script supports Lists and Dictionaries (similar to Python)
- Vim script profiling
- Improved Unicode support
- Highlighting of cursor line, cursor column and matching braces
- Translated manual pages support.
- Internal grep; works on all platforms, searches compressed files
- Browsing remote directories, zip and tar archives
- Printing multi-byte text
