Dropping the ATSUI Renderer in MacVim for Now
I was doing some work with MacVim yesterday and I was a little disappointed to see a bunch of little 'blips' on the window. I'm a stickler for clean and while I know they said the ATSUI renderer might have some strange artifacts, I didn't expect to see them. Once I did, I knew I had to go back to the default renderer.
Also, with my tests, the redraw speed on my MacBook Pro is virtually identical for the two renderers. So there's no real solid benefit to putting up with these artifacts. Also, CoreText is supposed to be the way to go, and Apple might just slap the default renderer on CoreText and let that be that. Who knows? Anyway... for now, it's back to the default renderer.
