Thanks.
Vim is still actively developed btw. The latest version has added a bunch of new things that are very useful.
I guess I just didn't want to get into a loop of having to read every changelog in detail for every package I install, then compile from source for all of these packages (or use the default distro's version if it's ok). That just seems like a lot of extra work. Manually hunting around and installing dependencies isn't fun at all, and third party PPAs aren't necessarily going to be around for everything.
I'm also used to the Windows world where you would typically download the latest stable release of a program. Of course on a Linux server, I'm always reaching for Debian stable or Ubuntu LTS but that's a different story.
First things first. I need to test Ubuntu 18.04 with the Scarlett and see how it goes.
