vim.org - Is there a reason for this 1800s-esque design?

1

Vim

Vim.org has 242k total visitors, tailwindcss.com has 4.4m, planetscale.com has 412k, jpl.nasa.gov has 2.6m, all built with Tailwind, all several years younger than Vim's website. Unnecessary comparison, unnecessary defence. It's a valuable tool, fine, but a complete disregard for anyone who doesn't love a crappy website and would like to navigate a website like a normal human is not something to be defended. Maybe it's not a big deal, it's built for developers anyway, but it DEFINITELY is not a decision to be applauded. Vim is literally a text editor, not the tool that changed the world ffs. Git is arguably a more useful and more complex tool than Vim but has a nice website that any one using can easily navigate and find help on quickly.

Rust

Exactly my point. Case in reference: docs.python.org, git-scm.org, rust-lang.org, neovim.io, you don't need anything fancy. This is deliberately chasing a particular type of programmer away...
