Vim³ – Vim rendered on a cube for no reason

Has anybody used this a lot? I'm curious if it's something you can grow accustomed to, and if so, whether switching back to a normal editor will induce a strange sensation of the normal editor spinning in some way (similar to the Tetris effect.)

(I tried using it myself the last time it was posted, but it made me nauseous.)

Somebody fork it and make the cube rotate only when flipping between buffers

I remember always being scared when that menu popped up, because the only times I ever saw it were when something was broken.

I'm sure there were good reasons to want to get to it, but I was too young to know any.

Compiz cube can already do this with your entire desktop circa 2006. I remember being quite delighted with it when I first installed Ubuntu but it was never very practical. I still miss wobbly windows though

I miss the old Aero Windows-Tab thing, that was neat
