That’s a broken highlight syntax file. The good ones don’t highlight text until it becomes visible in the buffer. You should bug it if it is reproducible in neovim. The team is highly responsive.

It happens with large javascript files (bundles). I use this: https://github.com/othree/yajs.vim And my color scheme is: https://github.com/nanotech/jellybeans.vim Not sure which is at fault (if either).

Yeah, yajs hurts performance. There's actually a disclaimer on that landing page you sent me.

Neovim has its own js/json highlighting out of the box and it's pretty crazy fast for me.

No, it is not. If you sue people with software patent, I’m happy you lose that ability.

This covers all patents, including non-software patents, so you lose the ability to sue for non-software patents as well. Are you happy with that?

But that is not even the point -- when facebook invokes the nullification clauses in the patent grant, you're simply back to no patent grant, at all. How is having a patent grant not strictly better?

No, I'm not happy with that, but that is also not what's happening here. You're still welcome to sue Facebook if you want, but you'd lose all patent licensed to you in the PATENT file.

I'm also not happy with spreading FUD. Bringing up non-software patent is a strawman.

The same reason thousands of programmers use Vim or Emacs with various extensions as their development environment. It allows the same editing experience across multiple languages. A consistent interface, lack of need for learning many (often very different) IDEs, less proprietary annoyance, many many more options for customization, much easier to port your setup to various platforms, etc. Admittedly I don't think At…

I think that's less relevant than it used to be. JetBrains is now the de facto best IDE for Java, JavaScript, Python and PHP. It has Android Studio and even support for C#. Visual Studio also supports a wide array of languages. I'm in IntelliJ pretty much all the time, no matter the project.

I can't speak for most languages, but for Python it seems to be very far from the "de facto"; I've only seen a few people, and most people strongly dislike it.

> Visual Studio... Isn't it basically an Atom alternative? What makes it, and not Atom, an IDE rather than 'augmented text editor', to borrow GP's phrasing?

I think you are mixing up Visual Studio Code, the free and open source text editor with Visual studio, the closed source and paid IDE.

Ah, guilty as charged, thanks!
