What Hacker News says
5 sourcesOne of Neovim's capabilities that seems really promising is enabling rich GUI interfaces for an editor that does not simply emulate vim behaviour.
An instance of this is Oni[0].

In Neovim v0.2.1 releasedAlso there is https://github.com/extr0py/oni, an editor also based on Electron
In Vim after 15 YearsProblem: It's hard to configure Vim/Neovim to work like an IDE, and the terminal UI isn't the same as something like Atom, Sublime, or VSCode. Vim plugins for those editors never quite hit the sweet spot for me in terms of using the muscle memory I've built up.
Project: Oni (https://github.com/extr0py/oni), a Neovim front-end with out-of-the-box IDE functionality (right now, supports JavaScript & TypeScript).
Cool to see what everyone is building!
