If you're comparing Oni to Atom, the architecture is actually quite different. Oni uses Neovim at the core to manage buffers & buffer manipulation (in other words, a native layer vs JavaScript in Atom) - this is a major benefit when working with large files. In addition, Oni uses a canvas renderer for the editor surface vs the DOM used by Atom. Together, these significantly improve the responsiveness of the tool. Architecturally, Oni is more similiar to the Xray project being investigated by the GitHub team: https://github.com/atom/xray https://github.com/atom/xray. Most neovim plugins work great with Oni :) Just set the `oni.loadInitVim` configuration value to `true`: https://github.com/onivim/oni/wiki/Configuration#oni https://github.com/onivim/oni/wiki/Configuration#oni
