What Hacker News says?

  1. The Oni editor [1] based on NeoVim seems to be aimed at something like that. > Onivim 2 aims to bring the speed of Sublime, the language integration of VSCode, and the modal editing experience of Vim together, in a single package. Currently in alpha, but according to this blog [2] pretty usable and has support for VSCode plugins too. [1] https://github.com/onivim/oni2 [2] https://seanchen1991.github.io/posts/onivim2/
