Parinfer is impressive, and I'm sure a lot of people will benefit from its use.
That said, I feel that this is a step in the wrong direction w.r.t. Lisp editing, because it focuses on vim-style text/line editing, and automatically rewriting structure around it. Editing with Parinfer or Lispy allows for structural manipulation, which is more usable and efficient IMO.

I'm a paredit user myself, and while it's very impressive and (obviously) the best mode for lisp ever, I recall it's learning curve being somewhat steep. I think the author mentioned this was a mode trying to create an easier learning curve for lisp novices, which in itself isn't a bad goal.
- rjeli 11y agoYes, thanks, I meant Paredit.
