The number of users pining for Vim and Vim bindings is greatly exaggerated.
- johnchristopher 5y agoTo my surprise, less than Emacs users https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2019#development-environments-and-tools https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2019#development-e... I found this group much more vocal with their org-mode.
- gigatexal 5y agoSure, for users who don't mind not having it. But for me I can't use anything without it. I vim all the things: my browser, my editor (vim of course), and will sure as shit shill for anything that makes more than a half baked effort to cater to my vim obsession. So for <i>me</i> it's a deal breaker, might not be for you.
- johnchristopher 5y agoI wish it wasn't though. I am so addicted to vim :/. Not even a hard core vim script maker or anything though and every 9 months I try to either add IDE features to vim (and give up) or add vim features to an IDE (and give up). Vim, not even once.
- donatzsky 5y agoNot a vim user myself, but it seems like Neovim is getting close to what you want. Of course, there's always Emacs with Evil mode.
- johnchristopher 5y agoOnivim was what I wanted but alas the project ran out of money https://github.com/onivim/oni2/issues/3811#issuecomment-910306404 https://github.com/onivim/oni2/issues/3811#issuecomment-9103... I really wanted a visual debugger I could use with the mouse like the one from Visual Studio Code. So far there a no visual debugger tool like in any of the GUI project I know of that embed neovim.
- Accacin 5y agoI had a very overcomplicated set-up to for JS/TS/web stuff and recently I decided I'd like to simplify a little. So now I just install Neovim and then clone LunarVim :) Yeah, my own custom config is probably more slimline, but LunarVim has more functionality and started up faster than my personal config. I disable a few things and tweak some bindings, but other than that it let's me actually develop things rather than tweaking my config. Maybe I'll revisit this in the future, but for now I'm happy and probably more productive.
- johnchristopher 5y agoAh, thanks for the reminder ! I had heard about it some time ago on HN but didn't get back to it. Will give it a try asap.
- boloust 5y agoThe IntelliJ vim plugin has over 11 million downloads. For comparison, the most downloaded plugin is Kotlin, which has 34 million downloads, followed by Scala, which has 22 million downloads.
