Hi, AFAIK, neovim is trying to offload some of it's stuff (autocomplete/linting) to a language server via LSP. They're also offloading syntax highlighting to tree-sitter. But I highly doubt that this is what you're looking for when you're talking about a "unix-like" editor. The dependancy on tree

My impression so far with acme is that it fills the "IDE" gap much more than the "text editor" gap.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Acme looks extremely neat. Mouse chording is a strange concept (which doesn't play nicely with my laptop mouse), but the idea of building an IDE around customised short shell commands is really appealing. As for text editing specifically, the idea of piping a bu
