This seems to pop from time to time, see my previous comment from nearly 3.5 months ago. Nothing has changed. No releases.<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27655998" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27655998</a>
I'd rather stick to Neovim with support for LSP (language server protocol) and DAP (debug adapter protocol). See a demo here: <a href="https://youtu.be/CcgO_CV3iDo" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/CcgO_CV3iDo</a>
The project has
run out of funds: <a href="https://github.com/onivim/oni2/issues/3811#issuecomment-910306404" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/onivim/oni2/issues/3811#issuecomment-9103...</a>.<p>Considering how many people are annoyed by the trend of Electron everywhere, it's a bit sad to see an ambitious native editor like this unable to secure funding.
Cool, but vim-for-money? When there's normal vim and neovim and vscode and evil-emacs? I think that text editors, even with fancy chrome are a pretty busy market with lots of good free-beer offerings.
I can't view their patreon without creating a user, but I am curious about what their pricing is and I assume it is listed there.<p>Anyone got the inside scoop?
I didn't try it. But I surfed the website and watched the animations.<p>I am using stock Neovim on the console. For completion I switched to nvim-cmp <a href="https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp</a>. Onivim also provides (based on the screencasts) completion. Do they leverage their own coded completion engine or are they using nvim-plugins and only render the UI over this completion?<p>My point is there will always be an impedance mismatch between functionality provided by plugins compared to what a UI provider thinks has to be coded in their respective implementation.
Genuine question: if it looks so much like VSCode and it behaves close to VSCode + VIm extension, and it supports VSCode extensions... what is the audience and/or use case?<p>Not a big fan of Microsoft.. but VSCode is good. It's actually really fast so even in terms of performance I'm not sure what is to be gained?<p>Vim has that one advantage is I can drop a 10 GB SQL file in it and it'll work somehow. But that's a really niche use case.<p>ps: I do wish there was the ONE... I'm still alt-tabbing between Sublime Text, VSCode AND MacVim :)
This looks cool - I hope that the model of "pay for binaries but free to compile yourself" works out even without making the build process too convoluted.
I'm using Vim and VSCode+Vim side by side. They both work well. Though the Onivim sounds cool, it's unclear to me how they would fit in the spectrum.
I made a joke to a colleague about 20 years ago that they’d rewrite vim in JavaScript one day.<p>It’s no longer funny.<p>Edit: comment retracted. I am an idiot. Left here because I’m not a revisionist.
Not sure I like VS Code enough to cop to pay for it rather than just continuing into invest into Jetbrains. Their vik plugins blow VSC out of the water.
This seems pointless. You can have a modern UI for neovim, they literally have a section on their github page showing you the alternatives. Pick Rust, not electron, and you won't have to do any funky config stuff.
