Hi Jürgen,

the interface feels absolutly different, because all the key bindings and
menues have been exchanged. IMHO it is also shipped as independent package
and not only as a configuration for vim. I expect that also a lot of
scripting on the configuration level is involved. For the experience of the
user it doesn't make a difference, if the develper has changed the code
itself or elaborated a completely new setup of the configuration.

It's a similar relation like debian and ubuntu. You can argue that Ubuntu is
nothing else than a debian configuration and repacked and shipped in
independent production cycles.

If V5 is late I fortell the day when someone takes TYPO3, exchanges all the
outmoded templates and content elements against a smaller set of modern
ones and adds some new sexy TS "objects". That would be a very different
TYPO3 and could become a very interesting product.
