Urgh, this is so infuriating. Oni looks fantastic if it can deliver on what it does, but the infuriating part really is VSCode in all this.

Code is a great editor/IDE and has a huge amount of development backing and now a pretty large market share as well, which means inertia. But the vim bindings for it are just garbage. They are slow, make the editor feel sluggish, they don't work "quite right", etc.

No kidding this sparked some inspiration, but now I'm just going to have to either look at Oni and be jealous forever until VSCode catches up (if it ever does), or switch to Oni and end up missing out on all the features and inertia of VSCode :/

Hopefully the work that goes into this newer editor will spark some inspiration and get some of the work offloaded to libraries which VSCode can use as well.
