Comment 11 for bug 871907

I see your dilemma, but dark red on black is also pretty bad. I feel like one of the two is going to be hard to read by default. Why should that be vim? I would think that vim is used a lot more often then vim-gnome.

Particularly on cloud and server, where you are very frequently deploying new machines/instances, having "readable by default" vim in Precise has been fantastic.
