Is spf13-vim looking for maintainers? #1015

Open seyDoggy opened 7 years ago

seyDoggy commented 7 years ago

The list of PR's is getting long and there haven't been any merged since July. The list of issues is pretty long as well. spf-vim is falling a little behind and might benefit from some additional maintainers.

Is this something that @spf13 would consider?

If this doesn't get a response in a few days, then you should probably ping @spf13 by email or twitter.

It looks like @spf13 is busy and excited about other things. The latest commit is more than a year old. Based on Steve's blog http://spf13.com/ and his LinkedIn profile https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevefrancia , he has taken up a new position at Google.

That is exciting indeed. Congrats @spf13. Hopefully adding maintainers is on the horizon so this repo can live on healthy and happy.

I am moving to SpaceVim which is actively maintained. Initial install of SpaceVim also looks very promosing. Thank you and goodbye spf13-vim !

@fazlearefin I tried SpaceVim as well, but wow, there is nothing left of Vim when you use it. I might as well use an IDE.

Can you elaborate? I'm interested in trying SpaceVim as per https://github.com/spf13/spf13-vim/issues/1015#issuecomment-287552838 but was your experience bad?

fazlearefin commented 7 years ago

I actually ended up using Atom Editor on a daily basis. Atom has a plugin which lets me use minimal vim keybindings and I am happy with it. But let's hear from @seyDoggy what was his experience with SpaceVim.

seyDoggy commented 7 years ago

@fazlearefin @bmeynell I was only able to give SpaceVim a serious try for a couple of days. I think what ruined it for me is that is entirely based on the the Unite ecosystem which seeks to take full UI control over Vim. Unite brings up menus and macros and lists and window navigation, buffer navigation, and so on and so on. With Unite and all the plugins that support it, there is little to no need to know or understand a single Vim command. That's fine if that's what you want, but why use Vim then?

This thing is, I use Vim for the commands, not in spite of them.
