Neovim VS Xi Editor

This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session. - Source: dev.to / 3 days ago

Neovim: Make sure you have Neovim installed on your system. You can check the official website for installation instructions: https://neovim.io/ Git: We'll be using Git to clone the LazyVim starter pack. If you don't have Git, you can download it from https://git-scm.com/downloads. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

All these thoughts I've shared, I would have them on occasion - but ever since I switched to Linux and Neovim, my curiosity has been through the roof. Switching over to Neovim and Linux was a not so fun weekend of configuration and spending half a day getting my work's local dev environment running on my new OS (which no one has tested development on). But I now have a deeper understanding of the tools I use, and... - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

For those of you unfamiliar with the Vim world, Neovim is a Vim fork which in recent years has become the de facto for new Vim developers. NeoVim has all the bells and whistles you want from Vim, but with a bunch of extras, too.

Was confused until I realised I'd confused Zed, with Xi[1] which is also rust based, and which incidentally has a frontend called "Xim".. Also there's a wiki-editor (like Tomboy[2]) called "Zim"[3]. [1] https://github.com/xi-editor/xi-editor. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

Project site linked from the GitHub[0] is https://xi-editor.io. Linked doc is a mirror of this[1], which was afaik originally written by Raph Linus. [0]: https://github.com/xi-editor/xi-editor. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

You’re referring to Raph Levien’s work on Xi [0]. Not really just a vim clone. In Fuchsia, it would have been the basis of all text editing services. If nothing else, it seems to have popularized rope data structures [1] for newer text editors. [0]: https://github.com/xi-editor/xi-editor. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Helix is awesome, though once Lapce (spiritual successor to Xi editor) gets the Helix/Kakoune editing model, I may have to jump ship. Source: about 1 year ago

I am very surprised that you haven't even mentioned Xi text editor, which is (was) designed as a microservice to start with, separating the text editor core from the GUI. Source: over 1 year ago
