I’ve just started learning Vim (ST and Atom user).
Thanks a lot for your config and especially for tons of comments in it
Very useful!

Thanks for pointing me to Janus, I’ll definitely give it a try… probably after I get used to Vim.

I also want to improve the lang#elixir layer in SpaceVim.

I started out with Janus, too. Its a nice distribution to start exploring vim (for me there are 2 approaches to learning vim, pointed out here). But after a while I wanted to configure vim more to my needs. I wanted to remove functionality that I didn’t need and add others. Basically I started again from scratch and rebuild my vim config based on my needs. This is what lots of people I know did. With this I don’t want to say that Janus is bad or just a beginners tool. Everyone uses Vim in a very unique own way. And for some Janus fits, and for others it doesn’t.

I am beginning to feel the same way - I want more control over my config. Partly because I want to know what’s standard Vim and what I’ve added, as a few times I have gone to do something on the server and it’s not worked (obviously because the config on the server is non-janus).

Thanks for your feedback! I might just strip out Janus and go solo
