I wasn't talking about modal text-editing but of the flaws of Vim *as 
perceived by Andrew*. He did not seem aware of GUI versions that solve 
most of his gripes by default; I never said there were no way to do that 
in text-mode.

Have I said somewhere that it doesn't? I think you misunderstood my 
post. What I meant to say was that syntax highlighting does work even 
with the relatively limited number of colors available in text-mode, but 
that I prefer the colors that can be defined in graphical versions.
