My iBook G3 on Mac OS X 10.4.11 running the EVi editor.

#EVi will take over every UNIX(-like) system and replace VIm's slop, and that's a fact.

#Vim classic is the last non-slop vim in maintenance mode.

#Evi is the last non-slop vim with an eye to continuing development of the project and adding new ideas and cool stuff, just not via AI slop.

I use Evi as my daily driver

EDIT: grammer, spelling, layout, added tags

Submitted the patch to include vim-classic in the #FreeBSD ports collection:

bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show…

Now waiting for it to be added.

If you can't wait, you can grab the patch to add it from the bug ticket and compile it for your system. If you don't want to install the ports collection, patch it and build it yourself *AND* you trust me to not be malicious: I'm temporarily making binary packages available for 14.3 and 15.0:

@davidgerard I guess folks will have to fork off pre - AI Slop rsync (if that didn't happen already!) just like pre-Enshittification Vim got forked off as EVi.

Woohoo! The first release, 8.3.0, of vim-classic (the non-slop fork of VIM) has been releases today!

vim-classic.org/news/vim-8.3-r…

I'm working on a #FreeBSD port in my spare time.

#vim

Der findes nu en ny "fork" af Vim-editoren ved navn Vim Classic.

Vim Classic som er blevet til, fordi udvikleren (forkeren? ;-)) er imod den AI-slop, der angiveligt har sneget sig ind i både det originale Vim-projekt og en anden fork - NeoVim.

#vim pros:

I want to open a zip file that does *not* have a .zip suffix with vim's nice browsing mode. Is this from within vim the only way to achieve this?

:call zip#Browse("/full/path/to/file")

Unfortunately there is no tab completion in that string 😑

And yes, I could use symlinks:

> ln -rsf myfile.notzip{,.zip}
> vim myfile.notzip.zip

But come on...

A podcast series about learning #vim was something I did not see coming... https://www.barbarianmeetscoding.com/boost-your-coding-fu-with-vscode-and-vim-podcast/

Any suggestions will be helpful;)
