I'd rather stick to Neovim with support for LSP (language server protocol) and DAP (debug adapter protocol). See a demo here: https://youtu.be/CcgO_CV3iDo

#12Cool, but vim-for-money? When there's normal vim and neovim and vscode and evil-emacs? I think that text editors, even with fancy chrome are a pretty busy market with lots of good free-beer offerings.
True, but for a full time professional user, even "a little better for me" can be worth a lot of money.
Given how free the alternatives are, I think I'm paying a lot for Sublime, but given how much I like and use it ... it's a small price to pay.

#13Why do modern editors have minimaps now? Do people actually find them useful?

#14Not sure I like VS Code enough to cop to pay for it rather than just continuing into invest into Jetbrains. Their vik plugins blow VSC out of the water.

#15I can't view their patreon without creating a user, but I am curious about what their pricing is and I assume it is listed there.
Anyone got the inside scoop?

#16This looks cool - I hope that the model of "pay for binaries but free to compile yourself" works out even without making the build process too convoluted.

However it has a "time delay dual" licence so eventually everything becomes MIT.

I personally like them for resolving merge conflicts by hand. It really helps just clicking on a section in blueish to instantly jump to a conflict in large-ish files.

#18I didn't try it. But I surfed the website and watched the animations. I am using stock Neovim on the console. For completion I switched to nvim-cmp https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp . Onivim also provides (based on the screencasts) completion. Do they leverage their own coded completion engine or are they using nvim-plugins and only render the UI over this completion? My point is there will always be an impedance m…
I have a onivim2 licence and thus try it from time to time. Speed etc is impressive. Currently I think it is about getting the last 20% done and development has been slowing down a bit. Really hope this get done. I still cannot really get a grasp on how viml and vscode extensions might interplay. It is btw interesting to note that onivim 1 was neovim but the author decided that it was better to wrap the vim source code.

Something weird is going on. They used to also sell licenses on the website, but it disappeared. Now they have a sold out $5 tier on Patreon, unless you visit the site's direct link? It's just odd.

#20Looks like the last release was in April? It's something I'd be interested in paying for, but only if it's being actively developed?
