#2This is really damn cool. It just comes too late for me. I have adapted to shared tmux sessions -- that allow me to work with shiver the dirty emacs users.

#3Very very cool. I like their approach toward file management -- "we'll get the multi-user data into a buffer; you deal with it from there."
And now, of course, I'm wishing I had this before I switched my primary editor to SublimeText ;) Anyone know of a similar project for that?

#4With CoVim, do all the co-editors see the same screen, or can they view different buffers?

#5So it's like Floobits but for only one editor? https://floobits.com/

same here, and tmux lets you share more than just your vim session. We use it regularly for pair programming, some times even in the same office, each one at his own computer.
I liked that coVim launches its own server, so you don't rely on having to ssh to the same box, but at the same time, I imagine ssh should be safer.

We use the same setup and really like that you share the entire terminal instead of just the editor. Is there any good reason to use this instead of tmux sessions? While it's kinda cool i don't understand why people are trying to put everything in vim instead of using other complementary tools.

What seems to be the key feature is the text coloring, which I don't think you can get using screen or tmux.

Ah! ok, that's a major plus for CoVim then. Looks like I somehow missed the coolest feature.

I don't use it myself, but perhaps this is an option for you http://github.com/fatih/subvim
