There's another distribution of Vim which also claims to be inspired by Spacemacs and is called SpaceVim (not space-vim as in this case).

Thanks for the pointer. I do have seen that before. But I think it's not difficult to see the difference. First of all, they are maintained by different people with a distinct goal. SpaceVim is aiming to serve a counterpart to spacemacs, which more suitable for pure vimmers, I guess. However, space-vim is intended for switching between spacemacs and vim painlessly. I'm both a vimmer and spacemacs user, and I really like the interface and philosophy from spacemacs.

So you saw a previously existing library and literally just stepped all over its name confusingly? That's just plain rude.

I think you have a little misunderstanding here. Actually, space-vim is earlier than SpaceVim. You can check that.
