IMHO they should pivot it into a beautiful native or electron UI for neovim. Rebuilding all the LSP, task, etc. stuff in a bespoke editor is clearly a ton of work and maybe not paying off in the long run. Get all that stuff for free from neovim. Make a plugin that starts users off in a more familiar mode-less editing experience so the switch isn't noticeable.

You might be interested in Onivim then (https://onivim.io/ https://onivim.io/) Edit: Ah it seems they actually ran out of money. I'd assume the project is deprecated now as I don't see any updates in the recent past. https://github.com/onivim/oni2/issues/3811#issuecomment-910306404 https://github.com/onivim/oni2/issues/3811#issuecomment-9103...

  It's exactly what I'm thinking of but development on it has stopped and it isn't clear if there's a future for it (see the update here: https://github.com/onivim/oni2/issues/3811 https://github.com/onivim/oni2/issues/3811). I'd love to see a company like Panic put some dollars and development power behind a native UI for neovim. Neovim is built explicitly to support these kind of custom frontend UIs. It's basically a backend for a fully-featured text editor and IDE but with a minimal console only frontend UI.

  Onivim is not vim or even neovim. neovim + VSCode extensions doesn’t really work as well as it should, and the configuration story (to me) was a nightmare. There aren’t many software purchases I regret, but this is one of them. (I’d never ask for a refund, because I paid for _access_. I just didn’t like what I paid for.)
