(I'm a long time vim user.)<p>Main selling points for me:<p>- Simple editor, easy to learn, with a ~650 line man page as the documentation<p>- Simple, yet has the most useful features from the great vim and sam editors<p>- No feature bloat - unlike vim<p>- No vimscript (lua instead)<p>- Readable and hackable codebase - unlike vim<p>- Structural regular expressions<p>For now the unavailable features that I miss the most are tag browsing and code folding. I don't miss them very much in sufficiently clean and modular codebases, but they are indispensable when analyzing large, complex, or badly written code. I switch to vim when that is the case. I should say that their implementation is considered though:<p><a href=\"https://github.com/martanne/vis/issues/547\" rel=\"nofollow\">https://github.com/martanne/vis/issues/547</a><p><a href=\"https://github.com/martanne/vis/issues/342\" rel=\"nofollow\">https://github.com/martanne/vis/issues/342</a><p>vis is highly recommended to anybody looking for a better vim and appreciate & know how to use vim without a gazillion of plugins.","time":1510849550,"type":"comment"}
