Neovide – a simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform GUI for Neovim
For the commenters here: do we have something like VimR [1] for OSes other than the Mac that provides a file explorer sidebar with smaller font size (probably sans)?

Having trouble auto-restoring sessions using persistence.nvim and VimR
I'm loading sessions at BufReadPost (also tried BufReadPre, which didn't work) instead of VimEnter because I couldn't find a way to find out the "true" CWD at VimEnter. I use VimR, which seems to launch nvim without any arguments even when I launch it from the command line like vimr path/to/file.ext or opening a file in macOS Finder, and set the CWD to $HOME instead of path/to. So at VimEnter, I'm only able to restore a session saved for $HOME, but not my project directory.

Neovim in Swift?
https://github.com/qvacua/vimr and https://github.com/qvacua/neovim/tree/5f8dd8c4a33203277cf6058f559383626411693d are good places to start

Wanting to replace VSCode with VIm.
I've never tried a GUI version of Neovim, and this is the first I've heard of MacVim. Are you referring to VimR? If so, it seems like the problem could have been with the third party GUI software instead of the core Neovim software.

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?
