No, for example I can open two or more splits (horizontal or vertical) - the catch there is that I can’t open an horizontal split AND a vertical split. If I have two horizontal splits and want a vertical one, the previous two would go vertical (?). I read somewhere on the issues list that this was rather a temporary solution to be able to “see”/“edit” more than one file at the same time.

Not to mention there aren’t things like tabs or windows. They want to let that be managed by a window manager, which sounds like the sane thing to do, but as I was telling before - not enough people with enough time to pull that off. The discussion about the RPC interface goes from a while back: https://github.com/martanne/vis/issues/59

The thing about good plugins is relative - I just have vis-pairs, but I am not a seasoned developer (I’m not even a formal developer/CS person, just a graphic designer doing frontend and a tiny bit of backend!) so I don’t really miss anything else. vis’ phylosophy relies on the unix-as-ide concept, though. Still I do know that there is stuff like a LSP plugin.

What I really miss from vim is buffers. vis still does not have a client/server feature so you still have to rely in its allegedly temporary split panes kinda solution. It seems vis’ main developer got some personal issues going on so volunteers are doing some little changes here and there but with so few manpower it doesn’t seem like those needed big changes are happening anytime soon. Hence why I’m trying to spread its gospel in hopes to get people interested in contributing to it.

If by any chance here’s someone else using vis, I salute you!

To those who downvote, really?

Not a long time lemmy user but as I’ve said here from time to time, it seems this inherited Reddit’s toxicity. People downvote here things just because - not because something doesn’t contribute to a discussion in any way whatsoever, but because they just don’t like it. It’s so stupid.

Take my posts in [email protected] - all of them have at most 0 net upvotes. Nobody there posts anything but me and nobody comments anything, but I do get downvotes because…?

TL;DR - don’t pay attention to downvotes here. You’re right, he’s an asshole. Though as with almost all social media you shouldn’t take no one, not even someone as influential as LTT, as a reputable source of information.

Edit: See how they just proved my point with this comment?

It’s just jan 4 and it seems the systemd jokes have already run out for this year. I for one haven’t seen all those “systemd bad” posts/comments/blogs/whatever. Instead there are tons, TONS of “gnome bad”, “kde bloated”, “wayland bad/xorg good” posts/comments/blogs/whatever, but god forbid if someone says something about systemd.

Farmer is systemd/kerneld*

Kind of the same syndrome of that people that want to feel opressed by made up reasons

TIL Gnome devs have (left) foot fetishism

Of course not, they also need to pay tribute to our Lords and Saviors Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds and make reverences to our supreme god Tux.

It’s just that they make all of that with extra steps.

ChromeOS and TempleOS swapped places. You don’t use TempleOS because you want a computer, you use TempleOS because you want Jesus in your computer.

Now the question is why Terry did all that job instead of making a Clippy version of Jesus for Office and call it quits.

To be fair E always had great potential (I recall reading somewhere some car makers use it in their infotainment UIs), but alas doesn’t have the manpower to keep it at the same pace as some other DEs, even much newer than it. If I were Xfce and got the last straw of the GNOME-ization of GTK I’d rewrite all my shit with the E libraries - hell, it would be awesome if those two merged together.
