Yeah, we've been meaning to complain about that! :-)

I don't understand that comment, but having VIM be able to drop to
the shell (preferably the user-specified shell (ksh, bash, csh, 
whatever's
running) would be excellent. Being able to actually run a shell command
on a text buffer or file would be even better, doing it from VIM in a GUI
environment would likely attract a LOT of attention, since it would give
IMMEDIATE shell access from a GUI editor!

Everything else pales after the shell stuff. It'd be a BIG draw for
OSX users everywhere.
