*airline.txt* Lean and mean statusline
==============================================================================
RATIONALE *airline*
there's already powerline <https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline>, why yet
another statusline?
* it's standard vimscript, no python needed
* it's small. i want the entire plugin to be less than 200 lines as a rule
* gets you 90% of the way there: in addition to all the standard goodies,
* supports fugitve <https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive> and
* syntastic <https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic>
* integration with vim-bufferline <https://github.com/bling/vim-bufferline>
* looks good with regular fonts, with support to use powerline font glyths
* it's fast to load. since it's so small, it only takes 0.5ms to load.
by comparison, powerline needs 60ms on the same machine.
==============================================================================

i wrote this on an airplane, and since it's light as air it turned out to be a
good name :-)
