I am thinking about a sort of cross-platform visual sthg that would look like more like this old good vb (on dos). For the console: http://toastytech.com/guis/textvbdos.png
I still believe that the console can be made much nicer (I am working on it, e.g. of clidesk: http://s30.postimg.org/5mai1s9kh/clidesk.png ). If you like framebuffer (e.g. SDL on fb), this could maybe give ideas: looking like the ST, ... old 16-bits: http://www.mevis-research.de/~ritter/awakeideas/images/desktop2/dsk-file.png (<-- have you ever heard of this one (some win95 alternative)? :) ) I think that we have to re-new vim ! :) Make sthg else, cross-platform, and much nicer. (and coded in C and without heavy dependencies ;) ) 2014-06-29 13:23 GMT+02:00 Yury Shvedov <[email protected]>: > Hello, Pat > > As I know, VIM - is VI improved, so VI can be consider as lightweight > alternative to VIM.
