Not JUST because it doesn't have my vimrc, though it can be awkward
having expectations from your editor and having them not be there. I
don't know how I'd handle it if I suddenly couldn't regex replace in
whatever editor I was using that I expected such from. Probably be
tempted to get caught on a tangent trying to fix that if I didn't focus
on the problem I was trying to solve in the first place.
You know, like ya do.
