"Neovim is an effort to aggressively re-factor the Vim source code and improve on:

  • It will provide first class support for embedding.
  • It lets you extend the editor in any programming language.
  • It supports more powerful GUIs.
  • Vim plugins will work with it.

Hosted on Bounty Source it has reached $25,500 of it's goal of $10,000, although there are still 3 days to reach further stretch goals! You can view the projects current progress and even pitch in over at GitHub. As someone who has started using Vim full-time over the last 6 months I feel that this is a very good project for the longevity of Vim."

    It would seem that Elvis has left the building. [the-little...d-girl.org]

    Which is kinda sad; I always liked Elvis over vim.

    Ed, man. Man ed.

    I wish there was ed+readline kind of editor. That would be simply killer.

      Have you tried not making errors, and just using "cat >file"? ;)
