Timeline for Vi and Vim default to split left and split above. What is the history and motivation behind this?

I believe there is a confusion between vsplit and split

although emacs does split below and right, it doesn not however switch to that split (window?). You'd have to manually do a c-x oto switch to the new window (split?). So, it basically behaves as vim.

couple corrections: 1) vim splits are stored in a tree structure (consider the limitations of <c-w>r and <c-w>x) which can be verified by reading the source code. 2) the default for :split is above and for vsplit left. "vertical split" might be ambiguous at first but it refers to the direction of the "split bar."
