Ninja IDE vs Neovim

Plugins can easily be created to add features that you may need but are otherwise missing from the IDE.

Has out of the box support for virtualenv, which can be added when first starting a project or later through the settings.

Has an embedded python console built in.

It is possible to run the project or any file opened in the editor with just one click.

Allows you to search one or more words, a regular expression, etc.

• GNU/Linux
• OS X
• Windows

NInja IDE highlights both static and PEP8 errors in a file. With each type of error having its own icon.

Also supports rendering HTML files currently loaded in the editor.

Allows you to manage projects, saving descriptions and information about them and letting the user to perform file management related task inside the IDE itself.

Code locator allows quick and direct access to any file, function or class inside one of the project by simply pressing a few keys. Pressing Ctrl + K open a popup over a text field, where you can type the name of what you want.

You can easily see all functions, classes and attributes in the current program.

NeoVim was a complete rewrite of Vim, with new features added and underlying issues resolved thanks to the Vim code base. The keybindings and configuration are the same as Vim, so the switch can be pretty simple.

The core text editor is "headless", meaning it's detached from the user-interface so other programs can hook into it. This enables better integration with IDEs and browsers, where "Vim mode" has typically been a poor substitute because it was a partial rewrite or a partial port at best. One of the advantages of Vim has always been ubiquity and Neovim makes it even more ubiquitous.

Vim plugins have always been useful, but tied to specific languages. Neovim's architecture provides better separation between plugins and the core product, so that plugins are completely flexible and can be written in any language.

This avoids the user having to make any installations.

The core functionality is handled apart from the UI, meaning that Neovim can be embedded into any other GUI system, such as Atom.

Not many editors can open such a large text file so quickly.

New neovim editor instance starts instantly and you can have multiple editors open at the same time, because id does not require a lot of memory to run.

Don't believe it? Try typing vimtutor in your command line right now.

Neovim can work on terminal, on a remote server over ssh.

As a refactor over Vim, Neovim has greatly improved its code base. For example, some functionality is handled by libuv, the same code base that powers Node.js.

Some typical configurations most of VIM users make are default in Neovim.

Vim gets stronger every time command-line tools get stronger. This isn't even it's the final form.

I don't like having dotfiles or dotdirs in my homefolder unless they're needed. Configs should be in the .config dir in their respective folder.

This makes editing multiple files at once, moving code around so easy.
