athame VS zinit

What does ngs do regarding text input... using readline like bash does? Or your own implementation? https://github.com/ardagnir/athame sounds so good for my vim-washed computerbrain. I imagine you don't want to embed NeoVim in your interactive shell (or do you????), but I'm wishing of that being provided in my next era dreamed-of shell <3

vi-mode... perhaps https://github.com/ardagnir/athame ?? perhaps embedding neovim??? but at least the basic modal editing that readline provides.

https://github.com/ardagnir/athame is an interesting looking project, I'd love to have that kind of vimability but am far too maxed out with configuring my tooling so I settle for whatever vi plugin came with oh-my-zsh.

None of these are major criticisms. But I'm wondering if others have also experienced them. I'm also wondering if anybody has found something better than your shell's native vim mode. For example, athame, which sounds great but has gotten very dusty in recent years.

Oh, I misunderstood "commandline editor". To compensate, can I offer this: https://github.com/ardagnir/athame

Athame does this with Vim. I've made a couple of attempts at doing the same thing with Neovim but never made it to the point where it became actually usable (there's a number of issues to overcome, e.g. bash statically linking readline so you can't LD_PREALOAD your own readline replacement, neovim not being very happy with single-line UIs...).

Athame patches readline to be vim-y, but that's usually unnecessary since most shells support vi keybindings. This might be better, since it is truly a vim session (and not emulation), but I haven't used it so idk.

You can test too https://github.com/ardagnir/athame

I just searched github for the latest fork, and it looks like the most recent fork is https://github.com/ryanstreur/zinit. I went ahead and forked it just in case and I have a version locally that I pulled down at Oct 12 17:12 PST. All zinit forks are showing as being forked from https://github.com/akatrevorjay/zplugin since https://github.com/zdharma/zinit is gone.

I personally prefer zinit to oh my zsh. Lets you use all the oh my zsh plugins without downloading everything (I think that's how it still works?), lets you manage outside plugins in the same way, and is really fast to boot.

zinit has a turbo mode to load plugins asynchronously

In particular, I am curious about your opinion on part document structure.
