# vim-airline
lean & mean statusline for vim that's light as air
Lean & mean statusline for vim that's light as air.

there's already [powerline][b], why yet another statusline?
# Rationale
There's already [powerline][b], why yet another statusline?
* it's 100% vimscript; no python needed.
* it's small. i want the core plugin to be *less than 200 lines* as a rule (specifically adhering to the [open/closed principle][h]).

* it's fully customizable; if you know a little `statusline` syntax you can tweak it to your needs.
* it is trivial to write colorschemes; for a minimal theme you need to edit 9 lines of colors. (please send pull requests if you create new themes!)

What about [old powerline][a]?
* the old version still works well, but since it's deprecated new features won't get added
* because it uses different font codes, it is incompatible with new powerline features (e.g. zsh, tmux, etc.)
