Amp: Vi-like terminal editor written in Rust

I was a Vim user for years, tried out Kakoune and never went back. I think for many Vim users there are many possible improvements. Hell, even as a Kakoune user i'd still like to see tweaks.

But, i agree with the GP comment - i don't see anything on this intro page that tells me why i'd want to use it.

I was a huge kakoune fan for a little while. What eventually dragged me back to vim was (a) proper async LSP support and (b) I wanted the same keybindings between my terminal editor and vscode, and the vscode vim keybindings are pretty good.

I keep trying to switch back to Vim but the selection-first workflows and multicursor really keep me Kakoune.

I really want to like Vim again though, for Onivim (2). Looks so pretty.

ah fuck you're making me miss kakoune

yeah there's nothing like it. but vim is just so polished and the vim-keybinding ecosystem is so big.
