I like this idea. This could help novice developers to get to know a true vim implementation instead of the half-baked vim modes available for other editors.
Sadly, this is still an Electron app in the background. For comparison, my nvim install only needs 9.7MB to open a Ruby file with all my plugins loaded, while Oni requires 165MB just to open a blank file with no custom plugins.

- petre 9y ago> Sadly, this is still an Electron app in the background Same thoughts here. Nevertheless, it's nice that it uses NeoVim as its editor. I started to use Atom on a daily basis since 1.7 and 1.19 is pretty usable. Got tired of waiting for an open source editor comparable in features and functionaity to Sublime Text, but written in a lower level language such as C++, Dlang, Rust or Go compiled to native machine code. It also looks the same on every OS and has nice and original features such as automatic whitespace trimming that I haven't seen in Sublime, or a CSV editing addon for that matter. Too bad each app comes with the burden of it's very own instance of Electron.
- juandazapata 9y agoI'm glad Atom works fine for you. I was forced to use it for about 2 weeks (company machine with no installation privileges) and it broke about 5 times. For reference, I've only seen vim dying once in 10 years (seg fault).
- lunixbochs 9y agoActualVim has a similar goal and is a pretty strong PoC on top of Sublime Text (with less resource usage as a result)
