Hi, I understand that there's no official release of Evil so far. But when I saw the install instructions on the Gitorious page I couldn't resist trying. My first impressions is very very good. Quite some things work that don't work (properly) in Vimpulse. Exciting! Of course there are also things that don't work yet, e.g. I can't enter command mode. When I type ":" nothing happens (GNU Emacs 23.2.1 from Ubuntu Natty started with option -q, Evil was loaded with the commands given on the Gitorious page). My question is: is it too early to use Evil? Is it too early for bug reports from users? If not, how should they be submitted? Many thanks for your great work! Vimpulse makes my life a lot easier and Evil will do even more so. Vegard, Frank do you have an Amazon wish list? It would be a pleasure for me to send you a little present. Titus

Ex is in development. There is a "lyro-ex" branch with a fair bit of code on it, but it's Frank's department, so I can't say when it's ready to be merged into the "master" branch.

Evil is pretty much beta at this stage. I use it daily now, fixing bugs as I find them. More users will likely speed up the process. :)

The mailing list is fine.
Many thanks for your great work!
Thanks for the kind words of encouragement. Today was a dark day to be Norwegian, and these messages cheered me up. -- Vegard

Vegard, I'm just watching the news report about what happened in your country :'( I am so sorry. What a terrible thing.
