Yes, I can see why, if you require all of these vim features, viper would not be good for you. "Viper mode is terrible though." was not a good way to express this. The title of the thread, and the name of the package (incorrectly) state that it is a vi layer, so it's natural to mention the vi layer that's built into Emacs. It's definitely something that people should remain aware of and still provides value. IMO, Emacs + viper is significantly better than just Emacs, so it's worth knowing about. Comparing its vi functionality against vim is definitely good, but it being forgotten and neglected is not.
- jrootabega 4y agoI should add that I would love to see viper mode enhanced to (perhaps optionally) support some vim functionality, and I admit I would find it silly if someone said that viper should only ever support strict vi functionality. But I would also be sad if people used the existence of Evil as a reason to declare viper dead.
