(a) It costs money and you don't get the source [I'd like to write an OSS 
plugin].

(b) It really kind of sucks. Only the most basic of vi commands are there. 
With an open-source plugin it would be a lot easier for developers to add 
the commands that they use to the plugin, rather than having to wait for a 
single developer to have time.
