Text editors and IDEs are quite different.
For everz we've ben trying to shove one into the other.
Every IDE has a sort of shitty text editor.
Every text editor tries to make a shitty IDE.
Can someone please ackgnowledge that the reality is that neither is a good approach? I wish that I could have complete integration between VIM and JetBrains suite. Would be nice if the JetBrains platform could render a VIM inside itself as the actual text editor but kept 100% of its features as vim plugins to be installed. That way nobody has to re-invent the wheel on great text editing (emacs falls into this category too) and actually making intelligent IDEs.

- pault 8y agoThis is the goal of the Oni project, but it's still early in development and there's lots of work left to do. Yes, it's electron but in my experience it never uses more than a few hundred MB of ram. https://github.com/onivim/oni https://github.com/onivim/oni
- sjellis 8y agoOni is my current text editor, and even though it's pre-1.0, it's been a fantastic experience. It starts fast, looks great, works perfectly as a Vim (it supports standard Vim plugins), and requires almost no configuration (I don't know why the built-in Prettier code formatting is shipped disabled, but you should turn it on).
