What is Reddit's opinion of Onivim 2?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Judging from your history with text editors, you should try out Oni.

It's a modern editor with neovim under the hood. Basically it brings modern features to the table without ever sacrificing efficiency.
It's still early in developpement but new features get added very regularly.
I use it as my main editor since 2 or 3 months and it's been great!

I find it a shame that a lot of people just feel the need to reinvent the wheel and built yet another but the same editor.

Yes, it's more fun to work from scratch than refactor some old code, but in the end, you will either abandon the project (yes, you will learn smth, but the community won't benefit at all), or your code will get old and messy to get at least smth done

Emacs is over 44 years old. Not a lot of projects are maintained for that long.

Since you are a vim user, maybe you have heard of this (https://www.onivim.io), seems like the new version of vim/neovim written in ReasonML

If every second person who wanted to create their own editor would contribute to emacs/guile emacs/remacs, emacs would outperform by a mile any other editor

I've been following Oni lately as an alternative, simply because it makes copying text to include in business emails easier (I don't have to turn off line numbering and disable list, just drag select and go). It's electron based though, so it's no where near as light as (neo)vim. >/

There's neovim-gtk, built in Rust, which comes with vim-plug integration. There's also Onivim, but that's a paid one. You can find the old Electron-based one here.

However, I'm curious as to what features you're lacking in Vim that isn't in Sublime. Do you mind sharing?

Been using it solid as an editor for the past month or so thanks to WSL and a little old netbook I rescued with Mint. If you have the presence of mind to throw away holding direction keys to navigate and instead think about using context keys to navigate by word, skip forward to a character, or quick search for strings to move around, you'll do fine. It is not a great IDE, or even a very good IDE, but its stated purpose is that it isn't trying to be. The vim community actually seems to oppose efforts to try and make it such. Neovim at least gives you a proper asynchronous terminal to compile/run code from while you edit files ("shit I typoed that HTML template, let me fix that... Line, 48? Cool..."), and people are generally okay with advancing toward IDE capabilities. Vim seems to be following suit slowly but surely.

If you're looking for something a bit less awkward, try Oni. It doesn't have a vast support for (neo)vim plugins yet, but it's at least a native windowed interface that uses neovim at its core. It's huge in comparison to (neo)vim though, so if your goal is to learn a light weight editor this will not fit that goal. >)

If you're willing to use an Electron-based application, there is a Neovim GUI for Windows called Oni that works fairly well. Otherwise, I recommend the classic and dependable Cygwin for all of your Linux-on-Windows needs.

Maybe you like the Onivim 2 project.

It's a vim/VS Code hybrid.

I compiled on my windows, it's not production ready yet, but can be your new editor.

Maybe one will I will change vim for it, but not yet...
