+Vile retains the "finger-feel", if you will, of vi, while adding the
+multiple buffer and multiple window features of emacs and other editors.
+It is definitely not a vi clone, in that some substantial stuff is
+missing, and the screen doesn't look quite the same. The things that
+you tend to type over and over probably work. Things done less
+frequently, like configuring a startup file, are somewhat (or very,
+depending on how ambitious you are) different. But what matters most is
+that one's "muscle memory" does the right thing to the text in front of
+you, and that is what vile tries to do for vi users.
