Sorry, is the vim that ships with OS X consider emulated?
I think that was a reference to MacVim, maybe?
MacVim is emulated? What does that mean? I thought it was a graphical interface like GVim just with a couple of OS X keyboard shortcuts.

#12What other keyboard shortcuts are available other than hjkl? It looks not even the arrow keys work.

No, but a lot of editors have some level of vim emulation (eg, Atom, or IntelliJ, or VisualStudio, or XCode) that always comes up a bit short. The point the author is making is that this actually embeds vim and is not a re-implementation of vim features.

#14could be pretty good with more polish

#15Wow, 1 hour and not one positive comment. I love this. For an user getting started with vim, just the mac-like design for sidebar and File finder is a million times useful.
Thanks Guys for making this!

#16I fail to see how this is better than to use gvim, which is crossplatform, together with NERDTree, CTRL+p + some other language specific plugins that can run on your server, on your desktop (which can be windows, linux or osx, whatever you like). Feels like the authors effort would be better spent on helping some project like NeoVim instead. https://github.com/neovim/neovim
Did you even use it?

#18Looks great, I'll check it out
Re: VimR – Refined Vim Experience for OS X
#19Damn, I'm sorry there have been so many haters here. Looks like a really cool project and you should totally keep working on it to make it even more appealing over something like MacVim. Excellent job guys!

#20As an avid MacVim user, I'm really interested in people pushing the graphical vim experience on Mac OS X.
I find it interesting that you included a fuzzy quick-open. One of the pain points with CtrlP in a large project - even with fast hardware - is the synchronous building of its filesystem cache. I would be interested in trying another implementation that lives inside of an app (where it can be dispatched asynchronously).
All in all, a nice looking app! I'm interested in giving it a shot!
