I agree with the article. Turbo Pascal was terrific. There is some kind of psychological thing that has me using neovim in a terminal all the time for many years. I guess it's convenient for ssh. But I miss the affordances of Borland IDEs. Even last night I was working on a web application and was tempted to add a menu at the top of the page, remembering how useful they were back in Turbo Pascal and such. I did a Google search and found this https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui

Show HN: Borland/Turbo C++ flavor menus for Vim 8.2

There are many keymaps defined in my .vimrc. Getting tired from checking .vimrc time to time when I forget some, based on latest +popup feature (vim 8.2), I created this vim-quickui plugin to introduce some basic ui components to enrich vim's interactive experience: - Well designed and carefully colored Borland/Turbo C++ flavor ui system combined with vim's productivity. - Can be accessed by keyboard only while mouse is also supported. - Navigate with the usual Vim keys like h/j/k/l, confirm with ENTER/SPACE and cancel with ESC/Ctrl+[. - Tip for each entry can display in the cmdline when you are moving the cursor around. - Pure vim-script, +python is not required. - No longer have to be afraid to forget keymaps anymore. https://github.com/skywind3000/vim-quickui
