It occurs to me that the fewer lexical types a language has, the less possible it is to highlight it in a pleasant way. Lisps and Forths (and most assembly languages) must look unpleasantly spare; and an encoding like Urbit's Nock would be literally monochrome.

Unpleasantly spare? http://take.ms/k83XH

I would really like to read the rest of the source of whatever that application is.

Are you using Reagent?

Anyone have experience with a scope/context-based highlighter, like this? https://github.com/daniellmb/JavaScript-Scope-Context-Colori...

I wish I could choose a language to preview the schemes with. My biggest gripe with many of these themes is that is looks great in some languages and terrible for everything else.

What bothers me isn't the isolated color scheme, but that without a ton of work (rolling it yourself?) the javascript in .js, .html, .erb, and any other file it might be in is highlighted completely differently.

Awesome post! I love the Tomorrow-Night theme: Vim: http://i.imgur.com/HBaCTAu.png Zsh: https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure On Github: https://github.com/chriskempson/tomorrow-theme/blob/master/v...

I find that theme very aesthetically pleasing, but I'm always having a hard time reading when the contrast between the text and background is so small compared to the theme vividchalk that I always fall back to. Is this something you get used to, or is it a hopeless case for me to learn to use these beautiful themes?

It could just be monitor gamma. And there's no reason you can't tweak the themes to your liking.

Running a terminal inside an editor inside a terminal... What is the use case for this that tmux/screen does not solve?

For me tmux requires too much configuration up-front. It's just not worth my time.

I spent a couple hours reading up on tmux/zsh/vim. If you want, I put my dotfiles up to save some time with configuration.

This is unrelated, but in the first screenshot, how do you get a terminal windows inside vim ? ( git in the top right). I guess it is a neovim feature.

Yes, neovim has an integrated terminal.

You can use iterm/tmux and split windows.

I find myself constantly switching colorschemes. One I've stuck with for the longest time is https://github.com/zeis/vim-kolor. One of the best, IMO.
