Xi-editor – An editor for the next 20 years
- plerpin 6y agoNot much activity recently - why share this now?
- i5heu 6y agoi have discovered it and wanted to share it :)
- Rainymood 6y agoSome key initial thoughts from a potential user that might be interesting in using Xi because he loves tinkering with new stuff: * What is Xi? The name reminds me of Vi/Vim, so what makes it better than Vi/Vim? * Is this a fully-fledged text editor or is this a tool in the CLI (like Vi/Vim) * Why should I use Xi? What immediate benefits does Xi give me over say, vscode + vim extensions? Hope this helps, didn't get much further than the first page and clicking around a bit on the website, then left.

- nanoscopic 6y agoThe docs page doesn't show any list of features and doesn't seem to show any visual examples. It doesn't entice me in any way to try out the editor. Why would I want to use Xi editor? I'm unclear.

- ZoomZoomZoom 6y agoOh, it's actually 'zigh'. What's wrong with 'ksee'? Don't tell me Vi is not pronounced 'vee'... Very interested in Xi and especially in Druid. That old talk about it was very promising. Too bad there's not much activity surfacing from the project.
- wodenokoto 6y agoThat pronunciation help confused me even more. So, does rhyme with high?

- i5heu 6y agoAnd it is, maybe, in 11 years usable if the current speed is maintained. So we have for 5 Years a really good editor-backend.
