Interesting. So, clearly modeled very closely after Spacemacs. Why would someone use this over Spacemacs in vi mode? (I’m sure there are reasons, just curious what they are)

Much better performance for one. Not having to use Emacs bloat if all you want is vim features + plugins, for the other.

Give up org-mode and magit?

It’s cute to define emacs as bloat in the age of electron and chrome.

While Evil mode is good, it is not true vim. That could be one particularly strong reason. There is also performance, emacs is slower than vim, unless you set up an emacs daemon at startup.

I went through the install process on windows. First it said I need to install gvim first. So I did that. then set the path to gvim.exe

Then I was able to install it, and it said just start gvim and plugins will install automatically. So I start gvim and nothing happens. Looks like normal gvim.

I feel like these sorts of experiences are always what happen when using kinda linuxy tools. Compare to installing vscode where it just works. But then is an inefficient electron/javascript program that just works. Would be nice to have the best of both worlds!

EDIT: allow me to be the change a little bit, if you install on windows, the fix: https://github.com/SpaceVim/SpaceVim/issues/3250

EDIT2: after the fix "E121: Undefined variable: g:_spacevim_if_lua" sigh
