Amp: Vi-like terminal editor written in Rust

I don't think it makes a differences that it is written in Rust in the same way it does not really matter that Neovim has a cleaner codebase than Vim's in your everyday use of Neovim.

But maybe it will attract Rust devs who are also Vim users in the same Neovim attracted people who are versed in Lua ?

I have been using Vim for a while and learned a lot but I hate to have to configure it and the out of the box experience is really missing much. I don't want to have to have to manage something as basic as my text editor. I want a battery-included modal terminal editor that has (mostly) Vim commands and is easy to use.

Onivim2 is fast and beautiful but it's a gui and it is not finished. Kakoune looks great but I don't want to learn another set of commands as I might to have to use Vim again and don't want to "lose" my habits.

So I am really looking forward Amp 1.0

I recently learned of nvcode: https://github.com/ChristianChiarulli/nvcode. I haven’t tried it yet, but it’s another option in the pre-configured vim space that you might find interesting.
