That has been discussed a couple of times in the past. The
person who provides the DNS for Vim does so in an extremely
reliable and efficient manner, so what they say goes. The issue
is that vim.org is a domain and should not be expected to work
in a browser. A browser has to connect to a host (www.vim.org).

Some browsers try adding "www." when plain "vim.org" does not
resolve to a host name, so vim.org works in some browsers.
