I'm like Matthew and Andy from this respect: I live in vi (gvim
recently), use it for programming since 1995 IIRC, on Digital Unix,
Linux, Solaris, Windows, etc.
VimOutliner has its merits on its own, but what it attracted me is
that it's implemented as a vi plugin, and thus integrated seemlessly
into my preferred working environment.

Despite ralising there are more and more Windows users, I'd say
*don't* put special effort into serving Windows users. In contrast,
keep vimoutliner crossplatform exactly as crossplatform vi (gvim) is.
I happen to use Windows as a corporate standard right now, but I will
change job next Friday and don't know which OS I will face at my new
place the next Monday. But it's sure I'll install gvim and vimoutliner
on the first day and copy my outline file on the new computer. :)

Have a nice day,
  Peter
