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?

Vim: The Best Way to Write Code?
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.

Which version of Vim do you use?
According to some of the original benchmarks Bram and others did, yes, by a small margin.
-
So, is your main editor Vim or Neovim?
I can't comment on the language, but Bram wrote up motivations in brammool/vim9.

Wheel: Navigation framework for Vim: buffer groups, mru, outline, yank
I don't see why you would write a plugin in VimL in 2021. I mean even VimL's author decided to just create a new language — vim9 script — instead of fixing this one [1].
With neovim rpc you can write glorious plugins in TypeScript and Python such as coc.nvim [2].
Other than that, I'm inspired by amount of work you put in the project.

Todo List for Vim
I think its cryptic reputation comes form the use of normal mode commands and regex within scripts. There certainly are warts, like the user's 'ignorecase' setting permeating to many places in the runtime. Which I'd love to see fixed and whilst may also represent a breaking change for some scripts would be far more easily adoptable.
