> Oni brings several IDE-like integrations to neovim:
Quick Info
Code Completion
Syntax / Compilation Errors
Fuzzy Finding
Status BarPersonally I use terminal vim not any sort of nvim (maybe I should change over but then I potentially have to maintain two sets of plugins, one for nvim and one for vim. ).
No if you want to call this out, I'd call it out for the lack of features. This only supports code completion in JS and TypeScript. I have code completion plus snippets for a lot more then that with vim.
Honestly if you want to wow me, someone should build a GUI configuration tool for neovim/vim. One big benefit of GUIs is that you can generally see all the possible settings with tool tips and explanations, and I can see that being useful for vimmers, especially if it did the right thing, like using ft-plugins to do filetype specific settings, instead of a bunch of one line autogroups based on file extension.
Yes there are vim config generators, but the neovim api means you could programmatically query the current configuration and display it along with the options, meaning you could have interactive configuration modification.
No, this only supports the extended features fro completion for those languages. It should use the simpler completion system for other languages, in which case you are using vim's support anyway.
I use this in my ~/.config/nvim/init.vim:
set runtimepath^=~/.vim runtimepath+=~/.vim/after
let &packpath = &runtimepath
source ~/.vimrc
Then I set up an alias in my zsh profile:
alias vim=nvim
All of my plugins thus far have worked without a hitch (and I have a lot of configuration/plugins). If I ever run into problems, I can bail out by removing the alias (or for a one-off editing session, I can just run: $ command vim).
You might give something like that a go.
Which seems to have fixed things.
But we can chose to ignore those "some", just like they can keep using whatever works for them.
It's not just "literally use Neovim as the editing engine", I've tried to make editing the text in "Sublime Mode" work too, including running Sublime plugins. Work in progress, but afaik the most complete Vim integration for an existing editor. Waiting on updates to both Neovim and Sublime Text to polish it a bit more.
VSCodeVim is using it as a reference for some of their new work as well.
