differences from neosnippet

[nhooyr]

What makes this plugin different from ultisnips? They both seem really similar.

Do you think both seem similar?
No.

neosnippet is Vim script based plugin.
UltiSnips is if_python based plugin.

neosnippet uses snipMate based snippet syntax.
UltiSnips uses the original syntax.

UltiSnips users can embed Python code in the snippet syntax.

neosnippet uses the jump marker. It cannot support backward jump.
UltiSnips does not use the marker. But it must detect the buffer change.
It will be slower.

I wanted both perspectives is all :)

thanks!

UltiSnips is slow in neovim.
Because, neovim if_python implementation is slow.

Note: I will rewrite neosnippet in the future.

Ooh, I came here research about which snippet engine to use with nvim (i've been using snipmate so far). Nice. So I guess I should wait for deoppet? Or does neosnippet works well with nvim?

Also, if you don't mind answering some more questions:

1. Why don't you use the snippets at https://github.com/honza/vim-snippets since they also have the snipmate format?
2. When do you think deoppet will be usable?

THANKS again for your great effort with some many nice plugins! You rock!

neosnippet works well with nvim.

It takes more time. I am busy to fix the plugin bugs.

When do you think deoppet will be usable?

I think it is in 2018.

Why don't you use the snippets at https://github.com/honza/vim-snippets since they also have the snipmate format?

Because I like neosnippet-snippets.

I just noticed this thread and the link to deoppet. Can you share any updates on when you think deoppet will be stable and can be used? Thanks!

It is in 2019 someday. Because In 2018 is defx.nvim development turn.

I think it is in 2018.

The plan is changed...

And deoppet.nvim is neovim only plugin.

Check! And I'm using neovim, so that's all good 👍
