====================================

VIMStorm IDE is a VIM based distribution targeting JavaScript and Web development.

It targets:

• JavaScript development (ES5, ES6, node.js)
• HTML5
• CSS3 and HTML5

And contains the features you expect from a modern code editor:

• syntax highlighting
• syntax and error checking
• autocompletion
• multi cursor
• git support
• code format
• support coding conventions (editorconfig)
• jsdoc generation
• debugging (todo)
• grunt/gulp support (todo)
• all the awesomness from VIM
