I'm a vim user but had to give up trying this version. Here are some issues I experienced after 5 minutes of installing: 1. Slow to load (it loads some stuff, I suppose because it's a non-native app) 2. Can't create new files. Have to use the OS dialog to choose a file to open. 3. Can't edit other files afterwards. Seems to be running in a chroot/sandbox w/o access to your files. Even saving the file seems to be a hack, saving to /tmp and then later that file gets moved to the real file. 4. M... Show more

New to the whole use of Vim, chose it for its use as a lightweight text editor.

In any case, this is Vim, yet it doesn't work as well as another offering. I hate to be "that guy", but that's j... Show more

This app ist just emulating something that looks like Vim. But for typesetting, editing and everything, Vim is very good at you can't use it. The files are not saved trustfully and the .vimrc Configurations aren't saved. Im using a Pixelbook and I am glad that the Linux-App (Developer Mode at the moment) works. Still, this chrome extension looks neatly like Vim, and that is all it does.
