Ask HN: What IDE best supports Vim mode?

1

Onivim 2

Neovim [1]. Emacs with evil-mode work pretty well (IMO the best "vi-emulation within other editors; the vi-plugin in JetBrains-IDEs works also quite well, though), however I learned painfully that you need to know two languages in order to configure it to your needs: Emacs lisp as well as well as vimscript for your vim-configuration. And that is just too heavy for me, so I'm back to Neovim. There was the very promising OniVim 2 [2], which is very fast and powerful. However fundings were not enough, so the work onn it came to a hold. And then there exists a handful of other modal editors with vim-like modes. Kakoune [3] comes to my mind here, which may be currently the most vim-like non-vim editor actively developed. [1] https://neovim.io/ [2] https://v2.onivim.io/ [3] http://kakoune.org/.
