This is my project. I was surprised to see it on HN today. It has a lot in common with Janus on the surface. IMO Janus is also a good project.
Where it differs is spf13-vim is focused on cross platform dependency, keeping with vanilla vim feel and having no external dependencies (with the exception of git).
My understanding on Janus is that it focuses on Ruby (spf13-vim supports Ruby well, but Python, JavaScript, PHP, Shell, Scala and a bunch more as well). Janus includes many plugins that depend on Vim Ruby support and is definitely focused on the MacVim platform.
My goal was a Vim configuration you could run anywhere whether Linux, Mac or Windows to efficiently develop in any language.
Hopefully you will find the quality control is good, general feedback is very positive. If you find issues please submit a issue on github or even better a pull request. You can see that I'm very responsive to pull requests.
- vessenes 14y agoThanks for spf13 -- I use it every day, on Mac and Linux, with Python. I do have one persistent, annoying problem with it, though, since I've got you here -- inserting close braces/parens OFTEN doesn't work with whatever plugin you use for the auto-closing. How do I turn it off? I remember trying to get rid of it, and failing miserably.
- arkenflame 14y agoI also use this daily, and have the same problem. I suppose this speaks to the weakness others have expressed (in using a premade configuration setup vs. slowly rolling your own), but I have otherwise found spf13-vim very useful.
