# Features
* tiny core (under 200 lines), written with extensibility in mind (specifically adhering to the [open/closed principle][h]).
* integrates with a variety of plugins: [vim-bufferline][f], [fugitive][d], [unite][i], [ctrlp][j], [minibufexpl][o], [gundo][p], [undotree][q], [nerdtree][r], [tagbar][s], [syntastic][e] and [lawrencium][u].
* looks good with regular fonts and provides configuration points so you can use unicode or powerline symbols.
* optimized for speed; it loads in 1ms.
* fully customizable; if you know a little `statusline` syntax you can tweak it to your needs.
* trivial to write colorschemes; for a minimal theme you need to edit 9 lines of colors (please send pull requests).
* supports 7.2 as the minimum Vim version
# Rationale
There's already [powerline][b], why yet another statusline?
@ -16,15 +26,6 @@ What about [vim-powerline][a]?
* vim-powerline has been deprecated as a result, and no features will be added to it.
* vim-powerline uses different font codes, so if you want to use it with a powerline themed tmux (for example), it will not work.

# Where did the name come from?
I wrote the initial version on an airplane, and since it's light as air it turned out to be a good name. Thanks for flying vim!
