> But where are the AI features?? Gonna get left behind!

Obviously vim doesn't need AI, but one feature I really wish vim had was native support for multiple cursors.

It's the feature that lured me away to Sublime Text in the first place many years ago, and it's a pre-requisite for pretty much every editor I use these days, from VSCode to Zed.

There are plugins, but multicursor is such a powerful force-multiplier that I think a native implementation would benefit.

Vim and its ilk have plenty of AI.

Actual Intelligence. It's connected to fingers/hands/arms/torso that is using it.

The announcement itself looks potentially AI-assisted, judging by the bulleted list style and redundant text under the "Charity: Transition to Kuwasha" section. But maybe some people just write that way.

I agree and I know what you're saying, but I'm pretty curious: how are people using AI with vim? I've seen some scripts for ollama but what are most people doing?

I made a vim extension where you describe the edit/action you want in natural language, and my ollama model thats trained on books like Practical Vim returns the key sequence and you can press e to execute without leaving vim. So you get automation help but also learn the syntax.

I was happy with VSCode after decades of Vim because it felt light enough out of the box until Copilot starting showing up in every nook and cranny of the damn thing. I switch back to Vim last year.

:please exit vim now
