An alternative way of looking at this: a text editor's main job is to turn keys pressed into characters to be inserted in the document and commands to be executed.

So what? It isn’t claiming to be ready, for its main job or otherwise.

I do not see any indication of its "not-readiness" anywhere in the README https://github.com/lapce/lapce or their website: https://lapce.dev/

So while it isn't claiming to be ready, their content does not tell otherwise. Yes, the version is 0.3, but Neovim is at 0.9.

Says pre alpha right at the very top of the website.

Oh, you're right, it's there right above the title "Lightning-fast and Powerful Code Editor". I swear they added that after my post ;)

I would argue that that's a fault on neovim's side; I'm sure there's a reason, but I would call it 1.x software.

Oh, that's to be version-comparable to Emacs, which is at version 29. Vim being at 9 is just way too optimistic!

duck and run
