## What it is
Onivim 2 is a native, lightweight modal code editor built in Reason/OCaml that combines Vim-style modal editing with VSCode's extension host and language integration. It aims for Sublime-like speed with a fast native front-end and cross-platform support.

## Use cases
- modal vim-style code editing with a modern UI
- use VSCode extensions in a lightweight native editor
- fast low-latency code editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux
- vim editing with language server support out of the box
- native alternative to Electron-based editors

## When to choose
- you want authentic modal editing plus VSCode extension compatibility
- you need a fast native editor with minimal input latency
- you want a batteries-included cross-platform editor

## When to avoid
- you need 100% VimL plugin compatibility
- you need a fully stable production editor - it is alpha software with limited recent activity
- you prefer a mature editor like Neovim or VSCode with large ecosystems
