In what sense is "retro-futuristic"? Colour scheme?

  I think vim is the retro part...

    Sorry, I was just joking :-) I find funny that they label modal editing, or vim compatibility, or whatever they want to achieve as a retro thing.

      Well, it is retro for 99% of the population and fashion is a mass market thing.

      I think they're trying to be a bit too clever, with vim being the retro part and "futuristic" being used to signify contemporary/modern/IDE-ish. Not really how retrofuturism actually works, as that would imply that a part of the editor would be how people in the past imagined the future to be. Which would be an interesting concept, but I'm not aware of any kind of editing interface like that. Too menial for pop culture. Retro-futuristic image manipulation would be in Blade Runner, but text editing? Maybe the Tron 2 quasi-Emacs ;) https://www.robscanlon.com/encom-boardroom/ https://www.robscanlon.com/encom-boardroom/ https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui https://github.com/GitSquared/edex-ui
