for those wondering what this is it's a proof of concept vim gui based on a embeddable macvimframework (mainly based on bjorn winklers macvim)[1] it's great to see so much work on vim/neovim lately. while not related to the macvimframework idea, the author of ultisnips lately chimed in on the issue tracker of neovim. i think the end result of the discussion was that thiago was working on json-rpc now, wanted to implement a has('neovim') feature and move the python code running in an external thread. i can't find the issue right now. i'm getting more and more annoyed with osx though. a cold boot on my 8gb macbook air has about 3gb of resident memory. redraws are extremely slow. iterm while much faster than terminal, is still just a textview which is slow, causing a lot of annoying flicker in vim terminal. it's gotten so annoying for me that i actually have a heavily patched dwm(i used to run awesome, but that's just annoying to setup in osx) with dwb browser, pidgin(yes, sadly otr in osx won't be fixed until adium 2.0 comes out, whenever that will be). and just general cmus/newsbeuter/mutt etc. so why not just run linux on the macbook? if linux had a half decent gui toolkit that was as easy to use as cocoa(no not gtk) we wouldn't to switch to osx or windows all the time for utility applications.
