    “Old tools” does not mean obsolete or bad. It means tested, hardened, and reliable. And crucially, probably runs in a couple megabytes of memory, which you might need if the cost of RAM suddenly quintuples for no reason.

        AI in vim is actually often convenient.

        :set ai
        

        Cool, now it will keep track of my indentation.

        Now sometimes that gets in the way, and while you can:

        :set noai
        

        Usually it’s best for me to:

        :set paste
        

        And that’s my take on the utility of AI in vim. (that is what you meant right, there isn’t some other AI people are thinking of right?)
