I use it daily for many years, being a user of vim for 20 years or so. I could not come back to vim now, I find the kakoune way more efficient.

I find two annoying things :

- U need to make a lot of tuning to make it usable because there is now tab management, no clipboard, etc..

- U need always the last version of C++ compiler to make it compile. This is annoying on professional VMs that are way behind the current version of gcc.

I would suggest the community to make better documentation for plugin development which can be very hard to learn
