So Vim is broken because you can't have a clock in your status line? Are you an idiot? Seriously, all that ranting and you can't come up with a single practical example of Vim being "broken" other than not being able to have a clock in your status line? I'm assuming you just made up the segfault thing because I have literally never seen that happen.
Well a clock is pretty easy to make, so an easy challenge to anyone countering me, you just change some numbers somewhere, but sure. I guess I just didn't have the imagination to think of something better while in rant mode.
