Although it will never be as popular as Vim, I will always see Kakoune as the evolution of Vim. It improves on so much and adds very well thought out functionality. Object-verb works very well when you adjust, and structural regular expressions make a lot of operations much less painful. Built-in multi cursors and autocomplete without fiddling with plugins is wonderful, and the in-editor discoverability and documentation is great. It retains Vim's spirit of minimalism but cuts out a ton of cruft without constraining itself to any kind of backwards compatibility. I use Kakoune as my $EDITOR and VS Code with Dance for software development. I think Dance does a great job of leveraging Kakoune and VS Code's strengths. I wish there was an equivalent for Intellij as well. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=gregoire.dance https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=gregoire...
