I'm not aware of any vim developer that uses the ex mode, to be honest. Simplicity is a feature, and when something like ex mode is bloating the code, the best option is to remove it. There are other better ways to script neovim.
- exDM69 12y agoThis has been discussed before and several people said they use ex for scripting (with pipes). However, NeoVim is not removing that, only the UI for ex mode.
- dllthomas 12y agoHi! I am a developer who uses ex mode from time to time. Now you're aware of one. I objected when I thought they were removing all support for ex; as it turns out, they're only removing support for switching between visual mode and ex mode - making them two separate front-ends. That's not a problem.
