I've been using vis as my primary editor for six months, and I'm quite happy with it. (I'm a long time vim user.) Main selling points for me: - Simple editor, easy to learn, with a ~650 line man page as the documentation - Simple, yet has the most useful features from the great vim and sam editors - No feature bloat - unlike vim - No vimscript (lua instead) - Readable and hackable codebase - unlike vim - Structural regular expressions For now the unavailable features that I miss the most are tag browsing and code folding. I don't miss them very much in sufficiently clean and modular codebases, but they are indispensable when analyzing large, complex, or badly written code. I switch to vim when that is the case. I should say that their implementation is considered though: https://github.com/martanne/vis/issues/547 https://github.com/martanne/vis/issues/547 https://github.com/martanne/vis/issues/342 https://github.com/martanne/vis/issues/342 vis is highly recommended to anybody looking for a better vim and appreciate & know how to use vim without a gazillion of plugins.
