>None of the ones that support macOS are good, and all of them that don’t have explicit macOS support are all awful.

VimR is very good; I've been using it before it started using Neovim as the core [1].

Neovim 0.8 Released | Sep 2022

I’ve used a few of the Neovim GUIs; they each have a different take on UI/UX for a Neovim GUI.

I’ve been using VimR the longest, which is a Mac-native GUI for Neovim: https://github.com/qvacua/vimr

Which discontinued Neovim GUI do you mean? As far as I know, while there are lots of discontinued ones, there are also several actives ones, see [1]. The "Activity" column in the linked table doesn't always show the correct age, e.g. vimr [2] is at least three years old.

You can give VimR[0] a try, I don't know what mouse features you use on MacVim, but that was the most pleasing GUI version of vim/neovim I've used.

I agree on the graphics part. I've tried doom emacs for the graphics, but it's not quite the same thing. On Mac, though, vimr[0] had a nice UI for neovim. On linux I'm yet to find a neovim GUI I'm happy with.

Mousemacs – A mouse-driven Emacs | Aug 2020

Nice, but this doesn't go far enough imo. I love emacs but keep using Sublime on a daily basis because it has real, native[0] mouse handling and UI. My dream editor would be a Sublime UI on top of embedded emacs. That means:

- Native mouse selection of text, proper copy/paste, ideally with a "narrow caret" instead of block cursor everywhere

- Native graphical file tree with drag and drop

- Native tabs with pretty drag and drop

- Pixel-fine resizing of panes

- Pixel-fine scrolling!!

[0]: Everywhere I say "native" above, I don't really care if it's GTK or electron (provided it's snappy) or whatever. I mean the nebulous feeling of having text areas work like every other text area on my desktop.

VimR (https://github.com/qvacua/vimr) on mac was the closest to this I ever got, and I love that editor, but I'm not on macOS anymore.

edit: Oh g-----, I'm literally describing aquamacs. I wonder if anyone has tried to run it on linux with GNUstep or something ;__;
