It's great to see this list, but it's a bit sad that all those app have to emulate Vim behavior. Do they all handle .vimrc? I think it's ridiculous that some app insists on me using their keybinding instead of mine. I'd love to have an OS level way of exposing commands and settings key bindings across apps.

some apps actually use neovim or vim in client server mode and dont just emulate vim behavior, but flat out run vim.

But even those cases I've had mixed results on "obeys vimrc keybindings" and "captures all keypresses and uses vim purely as a modal"

firenvim for example, puts nvim into textarea boxes in firefox, and it loads up all my vimrc theme and status bar and stuff (but only dumps the text into the textarea on :w). whereas VSCode vim plugin merely uses vim under the hood for the actual text editing, but doesnt pass every keybind back (nor does it do color formatting). Which puts it into uncanny valley for me, and unless someone is VSCode live sharing at me, I don't use it.
