A new truly innovative text editor

Modern Modal Editing — powered by Neovim
Oni is a new kind of editor, focused on maximizing productivity — combining modal editing with features you expect in modern editors. Oni is built with neovim, and inspired by VSCode, Atom, LightTable, and Emacs

The vision of Oni is to build an editor that allows you to go from thought to code as easily as possible — bringing together the raw editing power of Vim, the feature capabilities of Atom/VSCode, and a powerful and intuitive extensibility model — wrapped up in a beautiful package.
And guess what?
It's also made on Electron
Seems like it's a cool trend now
Maybe /tech should get together and make another one?

ayy lmao what is this shit
no thanks sticking to my shitty busybox vi or vis

I might switch to a go full featured vi clone at some point in the future tho if someone writes it or I attempt.

...

seriously
go
fuck
yourself

>Code editors today provide several benefits that help to reduce cognitive load when writing code, and that benefit is tremendously important - not only in terms of pure coding efficiency and productivity, but also in making the process of writing code enjoyable and fun for niggers, refugees and brainlets.

So basically just a shitty VS Code clone + vi keybindings. How it is any better than just using a extension?
Also modal editing is vastly overrated. It brings unnecessary mental complexity. The whole idea of modal editing was because of old shit keyboard with not enough dedicated keys. And people somehow think that modal editing is the only way to use mouse-free workflow.
Fucking hipsters, shilling neovim all over the web, how is the best thing since slice bread and when you disagree their response is that you just didn't spend enough time getting used to it. It's like people hate themselves.

KYS. It is actually more beneficial to the world to refrain from making a new electron project, than starting or even acknowledging one.

I've found that alot of these [neo]vim shilling hipsters do so just because of the learning curve, which they'll eagerly point out to you is steep at first. They do this because it is an easy way for them to signal intellectual superiority they purport to have. Question these types about the complexity of any actual work they do with their highly productive modal editor, and they'll quickly shrink away or shift the topic back to the steep learning curve.

Stop making text editor threads you fucking autist.
