I sort of get it, I do use vim and only very recently switched to nvim. For some reason the web UI here just seems different to me - because the rest of the web you would be using has changed around it, perhaps. Maybe it's just not really used much at all but still exists I suppose, just because someone posted it here doesn't mean anyone's using it.
- mbivert 2y agovim/nvim are still heavy beasts. Here's a recent example which made me laugh: 2 months ago, a "shortcut" for reverse search was implemented in acme[0], a 30 years old text-editor. It's not even qualified as a "feature" yet, rather, as an "experiment"[1]. Every little decision is carefully weighted; every square inch of the software is carefully and precisely designed. Japanese wooden planes are similarly designed: they don't look like much, especially in comparison with more modern, shinier tools, but they're surprisingly well-thought.
