Ask HN: Is Vim Dead?
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.

Notepad Next
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?

Is MacVim worth it?
It’s merged from vim every few weeks (https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim/wiki/Merging-from-upstream-Vim) and is listed on the main vim download page. It’s pretty standard vim.
You can read up on MacVim's docs though no here: https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim/blob/master/runtime/doc/gui_mac.txt. Features MacVim support include being bundled as a Mac app, can bind menu items to TouchBar, supports touch pad gestures, drag-and-drop, full-screen support, can launch using a mvim:// protocol (e.g. in iTerm2 you can tell it to launch MacVim when you click on a file path), etc.

Terminal commands I use as a frontend developer
I am using iTerm2 on my macOS. Other available options are Hyper and VS Code’s inbuilt terminal, which I sometimes use for quick tests. You can open a terminal in VS Code by using the keyboard shortcut CMD + J or CTRL + J on Windows, or View → Terminal.
