NVim certainly has it's own cult following, I would expect that it pales in comparison to Vim for actual day to day usage.
Glad to see the project is still alive and moving forward. Seems like most new editors or forks in general die a quick death.
- edanm 6y ago> NVim certainly has it's own cult following, I would expect that it pales in comparison to Vim for actual day to day usage. Why? It's a fork of vim, which adds some functionality and removes some functionality. But it's not an entirely new editor or anything.
- war1025 6y ago> Why? Not sure what you are questioning exactly. Why does it have a cult following? Because there are enough people to keep the project going and it makes them happy for whatever reason. Why does it have far less usage than Vim proper? Because it's a young, niche project, and Vim has been around forever. Same reason CentOS and Ubuntu have a far bigger usage share than any of the "trendy" distros.
- edanm 6y agoAh sorry I misunderstood. I thought you meant it has functionality for day to day usage, not just less users. My mistake!
