## What it is
Oni is a cross-platform GUI text editor that wraps Neovim with modern IDE features like code completion, quick info, and fuzzy finding, built with TypeScript, React, and Redux. It is now unmaintained, with development moved to Onivim 2 and libvim.

## Use cases
- use vim keybindings in a modern gui editor
- get ide features like completion in neovim
- cross-platform modal text editor
- neovim gui with embedded browser and status bar
- learn vim with an interactive tutorial

## When to choose
- you want a neovim-based gui editor with ide features and don't mind an unmaintained project
- you need vim modal editing with vscode-like polish on older systems

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained editor
- you want the successor project - use Onivim 2 instead
- you prefer terminal-only vim/neovim
