Ask HN: Is Vim Dead?
3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Mar 2024

I sure hope mainline Vim isn't dead. I keep trying NeoVim but I prefer using Vim in a GUI and no NeoVim GUI I've found has the level of polish that MacVim [1] has. VimR [2] comes close but keep finding myself going back to MacVim.

Vim 9 adds virtual text

This is already part of the official Vim (through the patches). The various Linux distributions and MacOS ship Vim with various patches. So this will be available whenever these distributions decide to include this patch. If you want to use the latest Vim without waiting for the official distribution, you can download it from: Windows: https://github.com/vim/vim-win32-installer/releases MacOS: https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim/releases Linux: You can build the latest sources.

Vim 9 has been released

The Mac Vim repository is synced up to Vim 9.0.0001 (https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim/commit/adfe7be38282da7d772cca025ebbe5080085ef6f). If you have compiler installed in your system, you can build the sources. I am not sure why the corresponding release package is not made available.

gVim (only on windows/linux) with a minimal config is my preferred. Fast but a few powerful built-in vim features like search, replace, syntax highlighting, spellchecking, auto-indent etc. It loads in about 1.5s on my machine and renders the text nicely.
Maybe take a look at https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim on mac, perhaps someone can comment about the state of macvim?

Mac Vim - editing text / code
Vim: The Best Way to Write Code?
1 project | dev.to | 4 Jul 2021

vim (aka Vi IMproved) is a highly efficient text editor that has inspired other editors like it, most notably MacVim (which I will refer to as vim from here on) and gVim.

Veteran editors Notepad++ and Geany – good and Electron-free – hit milestones
1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 7 Dec 2023

Ah, I think I did at some point, and had forgot that it has vim mode. Neat!
Also was going to say there there isn't the same language level support as I get e.g. for Python in Vim with Jedi, but I see now there is a Jedi plugin for Geany: https://github.com/notetau/geany-jedi-complete
Well ...

I used this Jedi plugin for Python for a while, but didn't need it too often and didn't install it the next system refresh. Might be out of date.
