But of course that is not a reason that you or anyone else on the core team should invest their free time in providing features that don’t interest you and them. I don’t have the commitment and affection that comes from long use, but from everything I know so far, I prefer neovim over vim (but for me, I need a GUI that works smoothly for my needs). Yeah–I completely understand and respect that, too.īut for whatever it’s worth, I am one of the people who likes neovim. Thanks.Īlso, one thing to note is that (at least I) do not feel motivated to increase the number of neovim users, I would rather work on improving features that users that like neovim enjoy, That seemed silly without discussing it with others first. I thought about submitting an issue at the Neovim repo about this. I’m sure I’m not the first person to have it. It has features that I use all the time.) (The MacVim GUI that I use has all sorts of features that I have never used and that I will never use. The resulting GUI might end up seeming bloated with features, but it might please a lot of people. And those who want their own GUI with other special features can still make one. The work wouldn’t be wasted by creation of many GUIs each of which might satisfy only a few peopleĮach. That would require a lot of work on what features to include or not, etc.–that’s extra work–but it also would mean that people can work together on a project, leave the project when they need to without it being abandoned, and see the GUI get gradually better. I feel that there ought to be a single, or a couple of Neovim GUI projects, probably as part of the Neovim distribution, that many of the Neovim GUI developers can contribute to. But I still want to use Neovim, in a GUI. (If that’s true, then the lack of a GUI is hindering the growth of the Neovim community. However, that might be because the people who want a GUI don’t use Neovim–because they can’t find a good GUI. You might think that the apparent lack of good GUI options is not much of a problem, because (I would guess) most Neovim users don’t use GUIs and don’t care about them. It seems wasteful, although I’m sure that each developer enjoyed developing their GUI. So there are lots of people who’ve put in lots of time and energy working on a Neovim GUI–yet it’s still difficult to find a good GUI for Neovim (at least for me). There are so many GUIs maintained by one or two people that many of them have been abandoned (because people are busy).These (generous) people are busy, and a Neovim GUI is probably a hobby project, so the developers might not have time or interest in adding lots of features that they don’t personally want, or even to fix bugs that they don’t encounter.There are so many GUIs that each GUI is maintained by one or a few people.I don’t fault any of the GUI developers for this! Not their fault.
So far, none of the ones that seemed worth trying have been suitable for me. And existing lists of GUIs don’t give me much help in figuring whether it’s worth trying out a GUI or not.Or have most of the features I want but still have significant bugs.And some of those that run well lack basic features that I want.Many of the GUIs won’t build on my system (or maybe they would with some effort–I am willing to put in the effort–but I can’t tell whether it’s worth it, because…).Having too many would not be a problem if it was easy to find one that suited one’s needs, but it’s not: There are too many Neovim GUIs to choose from ….

I use Vim in terminals, too, but for sustained work I want scrolling with a trackpad, cutting and pasting to other apps, being able to drag dividers between internal vim windows using a mouse, and other GUI features. (I imagine that there are others like me.)įor me, running in a GUI is a practical need. And Neovim seems like a generally better Vim. There’s a tool I want to use that’s only available for Neovim, not Vim. Please don’t be offended by an outsider’s perspective.
