I do not have any real statistics. I just doubt that most users
are willing to take the pains of frequently updating their Vim
(especially from sources, including installing/learning/using
Mercurial), or their o.s., or both. To do so, they must have a
particular, serious reason, otherwise they would just use what
they have. It is hard for me to imagine the majority of Vim users
being so unsatisfied with the editor that they are constantly in
the need for replacing it with a newer one. If I turn to be wrong
in this, I'll be really surprised.
