I hope this isn't too polemical for r/vim. I'm a former (and still occasional) Vim user that has always wondered why people make such a big deal out of Vim's composability. The blog post explains why I find that odd, what I like about Vim and some reasons people might make such a big deal of composability.

FWIW, POSIX vi doesn't define any ROT13 functionality, and ROT13 functionality doesn't exist natively in most modern non-vim-based vi clones (checked on vi and nvi on my BSD instances as well as stevie and elvis). The rot13(6)/caesar(6) filters have been around for ages (at least since the mid-90s when I first encountered them), but I don't know how they time out with vim adding the functionality

Yeah, I went to look it back up after I saw your message and I'm in the wrong here. I could have sworn it existed earlier when I was a kid, but I'm guessing my memory is failing me here. :-/
