Vim VS Dave

• Efficiency
  Once learned, Vim can significantly speed up text editing with its modal editing, keyboard shortcuts, and commands that allow for quick navigation and manipulation of text.
• Lightweight
  Vim is a very lightweight editor, consuming minimal system resources, making it highly performant even on systems with lower specifications.
• Customizability
  Vim is highly configurable and extensible through plugins and user-defined settings, allowing users to tailor the editor to their specific needs.
• Ubiquity
  Vim is available on almost every Unix-like system and even on Windows, making it a ubiquitous tool that you can rely on being available in most environments.
• Support for Multiple Programming Languages
  Vim supports a wide range of programming languages out of the box and offers syntax highlighting, which can be enhanced through plugins.
• Powerful Search and Replace
  Vim offers robust searching and replacing functionalities, including support for regular expressions, which can be a powerful tool for developers.

Possible disadvantages

• Steep Learning Curve
  Vim's modal editing and extensive set of commands can be daunting for new users, requiring significant time and effort to master.
• Minimal Default Config
  The default configuration of Vim is quite minimalistic, which may necessitate additional setup and customization to meet modern development needs.
• Limited GUI
  Vim primarily operates in a terminal, and while there are graphical variants like GVim, they are not as feature-rich or user-friendly as modern GUI editors.
• Plugin Management
  While Vim is highly extensible, managing and configuring plugins can be cumbersome compared to more modern editors that offer integrated plugin management.
• Inconsistent Behavior Across Platforms
  There may be inconsistencies in behavior or available features of Vim across different operating systems, which can complicate its use in certain environments.
• Lack of Integrated Modern Features
  Vim lacks some modern IDE features like integrated debugging, advanced code introspection, and refined autocompletion, which often require third-party plugins to achieve.

• No Overdraft Fees
  Dave does not charge overdraft fees, which can save users money when their account balance falls below zero.
• Budgeting Tools
  The platform provides users with tools to help track spending and manage budgets, promoting better financial habits.
• Advance Paycheck Option
  Dave allows users to access a portion of their paycheck before payday, providing a financial cushion during emergencies.
• Low Monthly Fee
  Dave charges a relatively low monthly membership fee compared to traditional bank fees, making it accessible to many users.
• No Credit Check
  Users can access Dave’s services without a credit check, making it available to users with low or limited credit history.

Possible disadvantages

• Limited Banking Services
  Dave offers fewer banking services compared to traditional banks, which might not meet all users' needs.
• Monthly Membership Fee
  Although low, the monthly fee may not appeal to all users, particularly those who can find free alternatives.
• Advance Fee Options
  While accessing paycheck advances can be convenient, optional fees associated with faster transfers might add up for some users.
• Dependence on External Accounts
  Dave requires linking to an existing bank account, which can be a barrier for users who prefer standalone financial solutions.
• Limited Customer Support
  Some users may find the customer support options limited compared to larger financial institutions.

• regular Vim has lua?!

  Lua is quite small, encouraging distros to include it. The ubuntu gvim has, and the gvim AppImage linked from vim.org does. The default Makefile from github is set up to not include it, but you can uncomment one line there to get it. Source: over 3 years ago
