> More potential for confusion if changes are made in the vim version. Yep. At least prior to any changes Ed may be making, Leo when it is open does not detect external file changes automatically the way that vim does so when I have leo open and am editing through leo-vim, I am using a standalone vim instance only to view the file. When I am editing through a standalone vim instance and switch to leo, I manually reopen the file in leo. Ideally, leo would operate just like vim and detect changes to external files and prompt the user with whether they want to reload the file or not. Even if leo did that detection on external files, you still have the potential for changes to collide if you're essentially simultaneously editing in both standalone vim and leo-vim but that is unavoidable.
