Lmao they have a different font and text color on every single page, what are you talking about? It looks like absolute, pure garbage. I would never want that to be my company website if I was a CEO, even if my company did just support systems that are 20+ years out of date.
Honestly, the more I look at this, this may be the worst website I have seen in quite a few years. I can't believe this is a currently-existing tech company.
Because to most people appearances matter and that website (or a beat up old car) doesn't speak to them having their proverbial shit together. Maybe that's not your case, but I wager that's true for the average person and therefore to the average consumer.
The HN audience is probably strongly correlated with the minority of people who think appearances doesn't matter as long as it gets the job done.
Please note that I'm not saying one of these outlooks is better than the other. I'm just saying most people care about appearance for better or worse.
Yes, beacuse they we're losing out as web development exploded, and realized no one wanted to pay for an editor when there we so many great free alternatives. They did it out of necessity, not out of innovation. Just like everything they do when it comes to their "open source movement"
Emacs is a gui editor. It has a shell mode, but it's primarily supposed to be used through the GUI. GUI Emacs is literally everything you described looking for above - an advanced GUI with more features than you could evere learn, yet one that still retains first class focus on keyboard UX.
Sorry for the late reply. I'm actually a huge fan of modal editing as well, can't live without it, so I use evil - and it's perfect. GUI emacs does everything that any other IDE does, and that's what I like so much about it. With vim or any of it's GUIs, normal IDE features feel like "duct tape" on top of the program. Whereas, emacs was meant to be used in this context. I mean, for example, when programming in C I can even use emacs to debug (it has a GUI for gdb). And those kind of advanced IDE features are available for any language. Not even touching the fact it's just a lisp machine and you can build any kind of program you want in it, it takes extensibility to the next level with a lisp dialect that's relatively easy to learn, whereas extensibility in vim is limited to googling for vimscript code someone else wrote (unless you take the time to learn vimscript shudders). Emacs gave me everything you said you were looking for, at a time when I was looking for those exact things. I wanted a modal editor like vim that actually was an IDE, had IDE features, and was completely extensible. Emacs checks all of those boxes.
If you're a vimmer and want to start out with emacs, try spacemacs. I used it for a year before building my own emacs config. It's an incredible program, won't take you long to get running if you're used to vim, and after a week I'd bet you'll have a hard time going back to gVim.
Emacs has a GUI version with gorgeous fonts, images and everything. Vim also has a gui version, though it's not as good. I think neo-vim has a few gui front ends as well.
I remember seeing the talk on this at Lua Workshop 2017. daurnimator gave a great demo. Glad to see it get more publicity and an actual release - looks really promising
It's placing the baby on it's stomach ("tummy") so he can practice raising his neck to strengthen those muscles. It's the first step to being able to roll over and sit up.
The reason tummy time is recommended is because now it's encouraged to have babies sleep on their backs to avoid SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). The down side is they don't get time on their stomachs to work those muscles, and so you have to put them on their stomachs (and supervise them).
Fun other fact: the vertebrate digestive system evolved to "hang downward"—i.e. for gravity to aid digestion by pulling matter toward your anterior.
If you ever feel gassy, one of the best solutions is to lay on your stomach and then slightly elevate your butt until you've created a pathway where the gas can exit by rising.
Similarly, if you ever feel constipated or have acid reflux, try just getting down on your elbows and knees (on your bed or another soft surface) and then relaxing your core to let your stomach just hang down. Picture imitating the body position of a cow. Everything should run in the right direction again after 10 or 20 minutes of this (bring a book.)
I bring this up because, of course, babies shouldn't be any different. If a baby—especially after weening—is colicky and looks to be in pain, it might be gassy bloating that it has no idea how to resolve. Flip them over.
Who really says that though? As a regular lurker on the vim/neovim subreddits and mailing lists, I've never seen anyone try to fix someone's issue in vim by telling them to get neovim (literally never). Because, in the end, they're going to end up with the same issue. You already know what neovim is....so why would switching solve anything? Say they don't know how to use tabs, omnicompletion...why would neovim be any different?
Now what you may see, to your point, is people pushing (one of the many versions of) Spacevim on those forums. And they are shat upon rather immediately. It does happen though. But that at least makes sense, because those programs make using vim "easier", therefore eliminating issues users may have.
But neovim? Certainly not. The only time that would be a suggestion for someone is if they want some of the features neovim has over stock vim (maybe they want saner defaults, for example, or don't like tmux and want an integrated terminal).
As I said before I have no problem with neovim. Yet, I'm reading HN from about 3 years and I see more and more posts like quoted above. Even in this thread was one or two - dunno where they are now.
My point here is only to learn first and extend further. Not throw yourself into high water with SpaceVim and than say how much vim or neovim is bloated.
