Love it - was a Vim user for many years before that. I will say that while the Unix-y design is really cool, the plugin system written around Unix (Bash) is a bit of a pain. You technically don't need to use bash at all, but idiomatic plugins tend too.. so.. meh.

These days I'm wanting out of the Terminal - but wherever I go, I'll need to take Kakoune's style of modal navigation with me. I love it too much.

_(For reference, I'm hoping Xi editor implements the foundation of modal editing, and then I can make Kakoune style editing work in Xi Editor)_
