For the first time ever since I started using Vim, I lost a file. I had a modeline that specified an "encoding" setting for a Python script. Vim complained when opening the file. I googled for a solution, decided to try fileencoding instead of encoding. When saving the file, I saw some error/warning messages, but went ahead with a ZZ or w! (don't quiet remember). Result: File length of zero. (Had backups disabled.)
My point: I *LOVE* Vim. However, this sort of design decision is unacceptable. It seems to be a design decision because it was not a bug or a crash. My two-cents' worth.
