Electron frontend is precisely the thing I really don't want from a tool like vim...


Note that, according to others in this thread, it is not running in full browser mode, with the backend using javascript. Instead, it is using electron just for rendering.

People here claim this is a lot better for performance. I've no personal experience to verify this.


I'd tend to agree with GP, but this seems interesting.

I'll give it a try, although not with great hopes performance-wise but oni may be a good compromise between nvim and good lsp designed for vscode (like haxe lsp which struggles on nvim).


You might not, other people might.
