Comparison is fair. What's presented there isn't exactly a comparison, though. It claims to "take features from some of the most popular editors out there, gaining the best of all worlds", then proceed to list features that are decidedly not the best, nor even differentiating:
- Vim: they took away "being a keyboard-only editor" (every CLI/TUI text editor?) and "being able to act just like an IDE after some configuration" (most programmer text editors?). Also, "being a keyboard-only editor" isn't even accurate for vim, it totally supports mouse input even in a terminal: https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Using_the_mouse_for_Vim_in_an_xterm https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Using_the_mouse_for_Vim_in_an_xt...
- Emacs: they took away "a configuration system where you can change the colours and appearance of the editor"... This is adequately discussed elsewhere in the thread.
Therefore, gp's analogy of taking away wheels and tires from Ferrari is apt.
- Aeolun 6y agoAnd if this is the first car you are building, that may even sound pretty impressive. I’m not really sure what to think of everyone being so negative here.
- oefrha 6y agoWho argued whether it’s impressive or not? People are not impressed with the rather pointless “we take the best features out of popular editors” section of README that neither adds to nor detracts from the editor itself, and only unnecessarily antagonizes people by mischaracterizing other editors. You can build an impressive car without pointlessly referencing Ferrari.
