True. But it’s not like they planned some vengeance against the VIM backup file. People are making it sound like this is a huge company with a product and not a grouping of curious people with a couple hours of free time on a Sunday. Most likely they never thought about it, then it broke, then it was not impactful enough to fix on their free time compared to other stuff. | ||

But they hold themselves out as being a normal software project, suitable for use by casual users. They even talk about having a "stable release" and advertise various sponsors. If it's really just a toy with no expectation of not unexpectedly destroying user data then they ought to make that more clear. | ||
