As a vim user (sample size one) I’m not tempted to try it due to differences, especially: > Kakoune’s grammar is object followed by verb, combined with instantaneous feedback [in vim, it’s verb followed by object] > vi treats moving around and selecting an object as two different things. Kakoune unifies that, moving is selecting. w does not just go to the next word, it selects from current position to the next word (source: http://kakoune.org/why-kakoune/why-kakoune.html http://kakoune.org/why-kakoune/why-kakoune.html ) The increased interactivity seems nice but the loss of backwards compatibility and having to relearn and retrain basic commands seems not worth it to me.
