not_IOthere is a AI free fork of vim, called evi
x1gmaWait, so because vim is allowing code written with AI we are switching to a random fork? The mental gymnastics here are insane once again. Is someone assuming that the vim maintainers are gonna do agentic requests?
How is this project gonna handle upstream changes into their own main? Cherry-picking only confirmed human-only commits?
Jared White ✌️ [HWC]What mental gymnastics? I’ve already installed EVi on my dev VM, seems to work fine. Problem solved, as far as I’m concerned, and I’m glad to lend my public voice in support of a slop-free fork.
slop-free fork
Based on what, exactly? I work with real people who write very sloppy code. If you’re trying to make a statement by switching away from vim, why not go to emacs, nano, or sublime?
The mental gymnastics is trusting a completely unknown person more than an LLM. LLMs are about as trustworthy and competent as the average person. In my book, that puts them far below reputable developers (like Moolenaar), but far above complete randos like the EVi dev. At least the LLM is somewhat predictable, but people can be crazy.
Wow, that’s quite an accusation against the lead maintainer of EVi, and furthermore you seem to be in the wrong forum because this one is called Fuck AI. So last I checked it’s perfectly alright to say fuck AI and also fuck the LLMs you’ve placed such unwarranted confidence in.
I’m accusing them of… not being someone I’m familiar with? Someone I don’t implicitly trust? If that’s all, the same applies to pretty much everyone else on the internet, including you.
Fuck AI, and fuck LLMs. Does that help?
But also: fuck scammers, hackers, and thieves. I don’t know the EVi dev and have no reason to trust them.
I’m not sure what you’re lol’ing about. This is literally how open source software works. People can fork projects if they don’t like something about how the project is run.
