Shame on me, I use Vim everyday and I didn't even know it was Charityware.

It's even on the splash screen. Every time you open vim you can see Help poor children in Uganda! or something similar.

I guess grandparent usually does "vim <something>" or uses scripts that clear the buffer (such as opening NERDTree on the current dir) which effectively make the splash screen never appear.

Right, I doubt most of us see the splash screen that often -- I almost always have a filename in mind when I first open vim.

I'm not surprised that he didn't notice. People become conditioned to ignore repetitive information.
