Not that it matters but I think this is built using Reactjs.

It does, if you consider that spicyj worked on this and that he's a core React contributor =).

In fact, this was the first React project that he worked on -- he rewrote our old angular app within a week of when React first came out, and had been hooked since.

This looks awesome! Thanks so much for this. I have a sort of unrelated question that I'd like to ask, since you implemented this so well. On one of my current side projects, I was also trying to implement scrolling by j/k, but couldn't find a nice way to do it. Could you explain how you managed to do it? I have something that works, but it's really jerky, and doesn't accelerate properly like yours does. Thanks again for this awesome site!

I just can't get excited about vim plugins (no matter how good they are, no matter how much I love vi/vim - and no disrespect to their authors). I can imagine how they could increase my productivity (to some extent) but... I'm old school, I work happily with vi, many of the customers I dealt with going back to the mid-90s never gave me a choice. SunOS 4.1.3U5 (ugh). AIX 3. Heady days of Solaris 2.5. Bog standard vi.…

Eh, I use a large number of the top plugins in the OP, but I've never had any trouble dropping back to "vanilla" vi/m in ssh shells or whatever. It's just a matter of convenience; there's nothing there that's so totally transformational that you won't be able to use vim without it.

Cool! Does he have plans to write an article about his experience writing this in React? That would be an interesting read, especially since it's open source.

FWIW, Vundle doesn't use :BundleInstall anymore, it's :PluginInstall. Similarly it's Plugin ".../..." instead of Bundle ".../..."

Also, the new Plugin command doesn't support double quoted string arguments, it gets parsed as a trailing comment. I discovered this after I s//'d my Bundle "" lines to Plugin "" and received 'Argument required' errors. The fix was to use single quote strings, i.e. Plugin ''

Right, because stars on github are a perfect indication that a plugin will work for me.

Where is it stated that it's a perfect metric for plugin relevancy? Alternatively, what would be a better metric. Any ideas?

It's the one that is used on that awesome site.

A better metric is actually trying all the alternatives.
