yeah, I totally get that. I keep toying with VSCode for the same reason. The problem w/ gui based tools in general is that they don't usually follow unix design principles. You end up making lots of little compromises just to integrate into your editor.
- asdkhadsj 7y agoYea, which is why I want a real frontend, not an emulator or w/e. Ie, there are real frontends for both Neovim and Kakoune. They let the editor do the real lifting, and they merely change the UI. That is what I want, but in a super well presented manner. I'd happily pay ~200/y for that. BUT, I think this frontend would also have to have a "normal" editor built in, because I don't think people like me would pay enough to allow a dev to write this editor full time.
- Skunkleton 7y agoVS Code has a plugin that uses neovim as a backend. I haven't tried it yet: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=asvetliakov.vscode-neovim https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=asvetlia...
