It's one of the best elisps I've planted in the past few weeks. The other one was dired-efap.el, which eases your filename editing in dired buffers.

Except adding arrow shapes to look like Vim (it's genuinely pretty though), I couldn't tell.

The arrow shapes are not a "vim" thing, they're a powerline thing. Especially as an earlier commenter mentions, the powerline core is independent Python code now, usable in other terminal apps like tmux, etc.

What's it do?

Just looks nice, unless there's some tangible benefit to the separation of parts by contrast. I think it also cleans it up a bit, though you could do that yourself or with diminish.

I realise this is important for people that isn't a bit colour blind like me, but if I cared enough about prettiness to install this then I wouldn't be an Emacs user. :-)

Edit: It is worth reading as nice elisp code.

Care to explain what this is, what it does and why I want it?

Was there a reason for posting this particular repo for a version that hasn't been updated in 6 months? Milkypostman has maintained a different version[1] (which is what you get from MELPA if you use it) which just so happens to need a new maintainer[2] as of several days ago.

For any Vim/Tmux users, the original Vim Powerline is being ported to Python and JSON (beta) and made more general so it can be used in more terminal apps than just Vim:

And there's Vim Airline being maintained by bling too, purely in vimscript, if you're not a fan of the mainline Python version.
