Ask HN: Am I the only one who think that the vim website needs an update?

Everything is in the title.

The vim homepage http://www.vim.org/ looks exactly like my grandmother wallpaper.

I believe that vim could be more attractive if the website was a little bit pimped up ! At least it would not scare all every new beginners that got a little interest for it.

Something like the new python site would be better...

Also http://vim.org/ doesn't work.

Be nice if you could store your vimrc there too, with plugins etc and do something like

vim setup username

and get everything set up as you like

Yeah exactly ! I have so many cool features in mind that the vim website could have. But it need a decent UI.

Nobody would be even interested by these ideas with the look it currently have.

And clearly the new python website is cool. For those who haven't seen it, http://preview.python.org/
