I still have yet to see these concrete user benefits.
- svalorzen 13y agoThe benefit is indirect rather than direct, as in the user benefits from the increased availability of plugins/guis since they would be easier to create. Also vim lacks lots of very simple but essential features of modern code editors simply because it lacks the graphical capabilities to do so (an example would be displaying the documentation of some method you are autocompleting, something which I have never seen in vim and which I actually believe is impossible).
- psquid 13y ago> an example would be displaying the documentation of some method you are autocompleting, something which I have never seen in vim and which I actually believe is impossible For python at least, having 'preview' as part of your completeopt has it display the docstring of what you're completing. And :h completeopt suggests that's intended behaviour for all types of completion (where it makes sense), too.
- fmoralesc 13y agoYes, but currently retrieving that info is done synchronously, so it might slow down things. Under neovim's model, this can be done more efficiently.
- ageofwant 13y agoYou can not see the concrete user benefits of a modernised, cleaned up code base ? Maybe you need to look harder.
- teacup50 13y ago"Modernized" means JSON-rpc IPC? If so, no thanks.
- rcxdude 13y agoIf it makes vim plugins less painful it has a huge benefit for me. I run almost completely vanilla vim in part because the plugin system is so awkward.
