Compared to Neovim 0.5, this doesn't seem to bring much on the table. Surely, some things work out of the box, have nicer UI elements and there are a few new features. But with a huge cost of no big ecosystem.
- archseer 5y agoI agree that if you have a setup that works for you, it might not make sense to migrate. I wrote this specifically to move from neovim though, because: - I had to maintain a large config just to get basic features like code commenting shortcuts - My config would often break, this week all my LSPs died after a neovim update - Vim wasn't designed to support multiple cursors Secondly, I've tried adding a snippet mode in lua: - Neovim would lose any marks on lines that got modified. This got better with nvim_buf_set_text (instead of _set_lines), but it'll still lose marks inside the content area. - Vim is based around macros, so any sort of scripting requires you to inject an incantation of keys. Try programmatically setting a selection? No such luck. Rather than dealing with the bugs I decided to work on my own thing because I can iterate on it faster than dealing with C / C's vimscript interface.
