No, you're looking at it the wrong way. It's not that I want to use things like this and pick vim. It's that I want to use vim, but am entertained by the notion of this (you're just assuming my priorities are the other way around).
In an ideal world, I wouldn't actually want this in vim, I'd want this as a separate ncurses application.
- catern 11y agoYou can use this application in Emacs without using Emacs as an editor. In fact, if what you really want is to have this as a separate ncurses application, you're in luck: That is already the case. (Though Emacs is not ncurses) (The fact that people don't realize this baffles me. I would really like to see more people who don't use Emacs as an editor using some of the applications built on Emacs.)
- halosghost 11y agoThat is a completely valid point, and I have considered using emacs for some other small things (e.g., org-mode). I think the reasons I haven't started down that path are 1) I still feel some influence from my days in the Editor Wars and 2) because I am too lazy to learn a new interface and paradigm. Perhaps this might serve as enough motivation to get over my laziness. :)
