A First Look At SpaceVim DistroTube SpaceVim is a distribution of Vim inspired by Spacemacs (a distribution of Emacs). It comes with a bunch of plugins installed and configured out of the box, which makes SpaceVim easier to get into for the the new Vim user. After spending so much time recently in Doom Emacs, what will be my initial impressions of SpaceVim? - https://spacevim.org/

Very interesting video.
I can't help but to think it's too much hand-holding. People using Vim like that; could they be limiting themselves? So much knowledge they'll forfeit, knowledge which will be very useful whenever they have to use regular Vim, or Neovim, or whatever else there is.
I dunno how I feel about having all those plugins either. I have only a few basic ones, which I wrote myself. I'm just stuck in my ways, I guess.
It does look pretty, though.

Yeah, writing any config file for basic functionality is a waste of time. If the defaults are reasonable, and you can change them or scrape the config out and start over, that's all that needed. I want an appliance - I shouldn't have to buy machine screws in order to do my first load of delicates.

Well, I was a VIM user for around 22 years or so and switched to DOOM Emacs and to be honest, I stayed mostly because Org-mode. SpaceVim doesn't have anything like this, unfortunately, but it would have been my first choice. However, glad I went the Emacs way...

DT, thanks for bring on always nice contents to us. And I believe that already you found a way to toggle the hidden files but anyway I want to say that if you use period ( . ) you can see those hidden files in the vimfiler.

I loved vim and I'm not sure why we would need a new vim. if it's only to make it easier for new users - well, signs of the time, people get grades nowadays and can't even read.

I would love to see this approach to programs more often, where it's a -GUI- in the terminal rather than an actual GUI. You want graphics? I'll show ya freakin graphics lol

Just to throw another hat in the ring, have you also tried kakoune? Just to totally mess with your muscle memory order :P
