Excellent. The more vim the better. I would like to see many of the core vim patterns replicated in other editors:
- modal over chords
- text objects
- the vim "language" which ties it together
- all the other good stuff, did I mention text objects ?
There is a reason vim has more users today then ever before: once you learn the deceptively simple language you can have deep conversations with your editor.
- yoz-y 11y agoI am very glad that most IDEs have either native or plugin based vim-modes.
- cyphar 11y agoI actually like the fact that NeoVim is working on VimL to Lua translation so you can write plugins in Lua. Emacs has had LISP from the beginning. Maybe we can soon fight back with a real programming language.
- gnuvince 11y agoThe vim language would be better if it wasn't full of exceptions that have no reason for existing (e.g. `Y` is `yy` rather than `y$`, or `cw` and `ce` being equivalent while `dw` and `de` perform different actions).
