You may want to check out SpaceVim. I've been developing on a remote machine lately; before I was using ST2/3. I could have continued to do so using (e.g.) sshfs, but I think…

What Hacker News says
24 sourcesI used vim years ago, and the list looks like it was written then.
e.g. the package management. vim-plug seems fine, it seems odd to me to mention the others. (Pathogen's readme now mentions that it recommends vim's built-in package management. Vundle and neoplug haven't had a commit in years).
In terms of vim distributions, https://github.com/SpaceVim/SpaceVim probably deserves a mention, as inspired by the popular Spacemacs.
It'd probably be worth mentioning NeoVim.
In Unofficial guide to dotfiles on GitHubI went through the install process on windows.
First it said I need to install gvim first. So I did that. then set the path to gvim.exe
Then I was able to install it, and it said just start gvim and plugins will install automatically.
So I start gvim and nothing happens. Looks like normal gvim.
I feel like these sorts of experiences are always what happen when using kinda linuxy tools. Compare to installing vscode where it just works. But then is an inefficient electron/javascript program that just works. Would be nice to have the best of both worlds!
EDIT: allow me to be the change a little bit, if you install on windows, the fix: https://github.com/SpaceVim/SpaceVim/issues/3250
EDIT2: after the fix "E121: Undefined variable: g:_spacevim_if_lua" sigh
In Show HN: SpaceVim Release v1.5.0I've tried this a few times over the past year, but I've always been put off by the lack of a `SPC-f-f` equivalent (helm-find-files). I filed a thoughtful issue [0] about this a while back, but one of devs pretty much closed it immediately.
[0] https://github.com/SpaceVim/SpaceVim/issues/1122
Also, looks like `SPC-f-f` doesn't exist anymore in spacevim.
In SpaceVim v1.1.0 releasedIf you found typos or issues with the docs, why not open a PR and fix it?

In SpaceVim v1.1.0 releasedYou may want to check out SpaceVim. I've been developing on a remote machine lately; before I was using ST2/3. I could have continued to do so using (e.g.) sshfs, but I think that I'm probably more productive this way. One of my favorite features so far is that the terminal is bound to SPC+', and that lets you easily yank and paste and navigate using the vim tools. It's not quite as pretty as ST or Atom. Powerline fonts and a 24-bit color terminal emulator are recommended.

2 points · Open discussionVery confusingly there is 'space-vim' [1] and 'SpaceVim' [2]. Your link is about the former, this submission is about the latter.

[2] https://github.com/SpaceVim/SpaceVim
In SpaceVim – A community-driven Vim distributionI have implement this feature in https://github.com/SpaceVim/SpaceVim/pull/458
In A video of SpaceVim's mapping guide featureNice post, I want improve tmux layer in SpaceVim. I think it is best editor for developers.
https://github.com/SpaceVim/SpaceVim
In Tmux and Vim – better togetherIn the 0.3.0-dev, we have implement these new features, hope you could have a try!
1. Plugin manager ui for dein, it just looks like vim-plug, but we can hide the windows before it finished, and resume it with same command.
2. Lint on the fly fature, as neomake support temp file, so we add this feature, it is not the only feature of ale, neomake also can, but better.
3. add some commands for spacevim
