As a die-hard vim fan, I feel bitter-sour saying that I switched to nvim. Honestly, I think the vim maintainers should find a way to merge in nvim.

I agree and I know what you're saying, but I'm pretty curious: how are people using AI with vim? I've seen some scripts for ollama but what are most people doing?
tmux + vim + Claude Code

I am a lay user or vim. I use it daily for editing text files and a bit of code, but I always found the plugins and the scripting language rather daunting. There are different, conflicting, plugin management systems; and of course there's the scripting language that's vim-specific, and the few times I tried to delve into this stuff, I quickly found myself in over my head. So - on the occasion of VIm 9.2 coming out -…
There are the Practical Vim[0] and Modern Vim[1] by D. Neil And the VimL Primer[2] by B. Klein But Vim is a whole culture that starts with ed(1), the standard editor. You do edit based on line numbers and regex addressing and commands. Then there was ex(1) that added more features. vi(1) added a `visual` mode to ex(1), and some commands can now be done in relation to the position of the cursor. Vim is the improved ve…

Honestly curious, what are the tradeoffs with vim9 / vimscript?
well the library ecosystem, developer tooling, and gradual typing support for lua is far ahead of what’s available for vimscript. in my experience lua is #2 behind javascript/typescript’s #1 when it comes to scripting language LSP stuff. both python and ruby suffer from a profusion of alternative type checkers and whatnot that cause pain and fragmentation when it comes to tooling. it’s pretty great to have my vimconf…

How many people don’t know tmux in the industry is really beyond me.
What's the elevator pitch if I already know Screen and I can just open multiple windows of the terminal emulator?
Just an honest opinion of someone who didn’t have skin in the game. Not sure if it helps.
