Ya...it's going downhill :-( I liked it as a lightweight editor. Now it's just another IDE. But instead I have to sift through thousands of half-baked 3rd party plugins to get the functions I need. Editors/IDEs should do one thing or the either well.
- Philip-J-Fry 5y ago>But instead I have to sift through thousands of half-baked 3rd party plugins to get the functions I need That's the entire point? The functions don't exist because it's supposed to be lightweight. If you're finding that you need 20+ plugins to add features then I've got news for you, you're looking for an IDE that has all these built in by default.
- fileeditview 5y agoNot OP but.. I have certainly around 20 plugins in my Vim and it runs faster than Usain Bolt. I agree with your first point but the IDE argument is wrong. I could use 100 plugins and it still would not be an IDE nor would I want one.
