What's most interesting for me here is Revery, the GUI framework. React-like, cross-platform, native-code, MIT-licensed. Yes, it's not using native widgets (so no built-in accessibility), but that might be fine in many cases.

Looking forward to seeing it displace Electron.
It's not even the language, it's not much harder to learn than TS. It's the smaller library ecosystem of Reason / OCaml.
I understand that the vscode ecosystem is awesome. However, I always felt like the UI was severaly lacking behind proper IDE like intellij.
Give me intellij-like documentation popup, run, build & debug buttons and debug UI, and I will switch in an instant!
Isn’t this VS Code with the Vim extension?
No, it is actually using the real vim in the background. So while you might not be able to use all vim plugins/scripts, it should give you a much more complete vim experience. See also https://github.com/onivim/libvim
If it has, I'm interested.
Was not able to find the trial though.
*edit:* Just saw that it is actually open source and will be available for non-commercial use for free. I'm more than fine with that model!
Buying software without a trial makes me disinterested. I still want to learn using vim every day, but won't commit to this text editor/vsx-powered IDE, unless I find out that I have the guts to use it every day. Also, there is VIM mode for VS Code, I guess.

I bought a license like 6 months ago and have tried a couple of times back and forth during this period. I thought this was exactly what I was looking for. A modern mix on Vim and VSCode. I was pretty disappointed though tbh. You can really just VSCode with the Vim extension, or just use actual Vim. I think there is space for a product like this though, so A for effort!
One of the things that stops me from using neovim - regardless of any changes I'd like - is the removal of gvim. I like my gvim candy; SVG icons in sign columns, better modifier support in maps, drag and drop when in command line, $things_ive_forgot_i_use.
Likewise, I also believe the idea of onivim is worth a licence fee, even it turns out I can't get behind it. It just feels like one of those projects I want to see succeed, even if it isn't for me.
