In the parent to my comment was this sentence: "New users have no idea how powerful it is."

That reminded me of this quote from Star Wars Episode VI: "You don't know the power of the Dark Side."

Which reminded me of the bumper sticker or T shirt: "Come to the Dark Side. We have cookies."

Which led to my comment: "Come to the Dark Side. We have buffers."

Buffers isn't important, except as something Vim has that can substitute for cookies.
