What is the sweet spot of Oni? If you're looking for a full-blown IDE with vim UI on top then the vs code IntelliJ Visual Studio does reasonably good job at that. If you're looking for a beefed-up version of vim as an IDE spacevim has a package manager and a curated set of over 200 plugins dialed in to work well together for gvim or terminal. I'm just trying to understand the differentiator

I can't speak for the IDE-oriented folks, but as a veteran vim user, never really satisfied with the typographical and UI limitations of the terminal, Oni is the first graphical frontend for vim that satisfies me. Being able to finally have good looking autocompletions, tabs, file explorer and widgets for all related vim features (autocomplete, quickinfo, statusbar, etc) and also having first-class LSP compatibility made using Oni for ~ 6 months a joy. I don't really enjoy the commitment to appease IDE oriented users but it's pretty easy to have a bare configuration (https://github.com/onivim/oni/wiki/How-To:-Make-Oni-closer-to-bare-Vim-experience https://github.com/onivim/oni/wiki/How-To:-Make-Oni-closer-t...) and if it makes it easier and viable for more people to enjoy vim, more power to it! Also, @bryphe is a very considerate project leader, making hard work to understand different use cases and open to new ideas, which makes collaboration very straightforward with the growing number of contributors. I am very excited for Oni's future and am sure that it'll only improve forward.

SpaceVim is not same as oni, oni, is a gui app for neovim. And SpaceVim is a configration for vim/neovim to make it works like IDE, in old version SpaceVim has many plugins, but we just release v0.7.0, and the default plugins is only 50. you can checkout our release note: https://spacevim.org/SpaceVim-release-v0.7.0/ https://spacevim.org/SpaceVim-release-v0.7.0/
