IMO, the problem is that we've tried to use Vim as an IDE. Vim's power is modal editing and the composable grammar. I think Vim should be in competition with the text editor widget that sits inside VSCode, Atom, Xcode, Intellij or any other IDE instead of the IDE itself. Fortunately, with neovim this will be possible.
People can use IDEs of their choice but use real Vim for all text operations or just stick to vim like me :)
- tomku 10y agoIt was possible a long time ago (pre-VS 2003) to embed a real copy of gvim as an OLE widget inside Visual Studio. I'm looking forward to being able to do that in a less hacky way via neovim.
