   This is because most people don't know and don't have the time or 
inclination
   to go through pages of technical documentation. How many read manpages ?

   Usability and accessibility is the sad part here. If you get a 
property sheet with
   all the fundu Vim options listed with context-sensitive help then 
more people
   will use it. Gvim tries to do that but is still way behind in this area.

   XEmacs does provide property sheets but they need improvement.
