Yea, 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.
