    For those who have tried Kakoune, once you’ve included things like Treesitter and the clangd language server, which one feels faster, Kakoune or Neovim?

    I never felt the need to install something like Treesitter because I feel selection-based editing is already powerful enough, if that gives you an idea of how much faster I am with Kakoune compared to Neovim. Maybe I just don’t know everything Treesitter can do 🤔

    which apparently allows you to have one master Kakoune instance and multiple slave instances that would be in sync

    It’s not a master/slave setup, it really is client/server, even the first instance of kakoune that you open will be a client that you can close without the other instances going down with it.

    I’m not sure if Kakoune shares the clipboard with all of those instances?

    Yup, all shared: registers, buffers, marks, hooks. (You can choose not to share stuff between clients)
