Well, vim is problematic for several reasons. neovim is said to be 'cleaner' code and more collaborative; Unfortunately, many useful plugins that I need for working with markdown/ pandoc (e.g. youcompleteme) don't run on all platforms with neovim, why I'm still stuck with vim (from time to time I need a manuscript finished..). Since my hand mobility is limited, I cannot use Emacs, et al. (;-)), and atom, which was a very versatile editor, is dead. My point: the tab/intend/space issue is only the tip of the iceberg. Probably a newly written 'vimish' editor is needed.
