Ubuntu's Mark Shuttleworth on shaking up system software

I really like Shuttleworth's / Ubuntu's courage - it's much like Apple's courage, except it is done in the open.

(Personally, I can't switch to 12.04; it borks on my touchscreen device, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/801988 - but I will as soon as the bug is resolved. The lenses/hud is excellent)

i also suggest not upgrading to 12.04 if you are a vim and konversation user. ain't working.

I don't understand how Vim can be broken on 12.04, some type of packaging error?

vim user on 12.04 here, no problems.

Perhaps you mean a gvim user on a 12.04 multi-monitor setup? I do everything on my single-screen laptop these days, so maybe you're talking about a different config?

Vim is working everywhere just fine.
