VIM IS... NOT *design-not*
-- Vim is not a shell or an Operating System. You will not be able to run a
- shell inside Vim or use it to control a debugger. This should work the
- other way around: Use Vim as a component from a shell or in an IDE.
+- Vim is not a shell or an Operating System. It does provide a terminal
+ window, in which you can run a shell or debugger. E.g. to be able to do
+ this over an ssh connection. But if you don't need a text editor with that
+ it is out of scope (use something like screen or tmux instead).
A satirical way to say this: "Unlike Emacs, Vim does not attempt to include
everything but the kitchen sink, but some people say that you can clean one
with it. ;-)"
