I retry it every now and then and miss the easy extensibility of Neovim. Can we build something that marries both worlds?

RIP Onivim 2, it was so close to this niche.

By we you mean anybody besides you? Complain-driven development.

Happy to try building one to free you from complaint-driven motivation.

Please do. Editors and IDEs need new ideas.

Is VSCode out for some reason? I don’t care for the defaults for some language plugins, but it seems easier to ship VSCode config than to build a whole editor.

I think the VSCode config is just JSON on disk and I believe you can install plugins on the CLI. You could probably have a bash or Python script do the setup pretty easily.

Edit: responded before coffee, missed the “native GUI”; please disregard
