It has been under active development by the main developer since 2009, and continues to have regular commits. Seems as if they recently added Neovim support, which is very good since some people may want to use plugins designed exclusively for Neovim, but prefer VimShell over Neovim's terminal emulator. | |

It is not a wrapper around another shell. It even works under Windows, somewhat, not that I want to use Windows... It does not read in your .bashrc or .zshrc because it has nothing to do with bash or zsh. It has its own configuration file, .vimshrc. | |

As described in this answer, this works even better than the Neovim terminal emulator, which was supposed be better because it is built in. Neovim does not allow jumping around in normal mode on the current line and then editing it from there, but VimShell does! The terminal in Neovim is kind of ridiculous. When you go into normal mode, the cursor jumps to the bottom of the screen! Also, when you use gf from the terminal output to try to jump to a file, it looks in the wrong place. | |
