+[Onivim](https://v2.onivim.io) is a 'modern modal editor', combining fancy
+interface and language features with vim-style modal editing. What's wrong you
+ask?
+
+Apart from [buggy syntax highlighting](https://github.com/onivim/oni2/issues/550), 
+[broken scrolling](https://github.com/onivim/oni2/issues/519) and
+[others](https://github.com/onivim/oni2/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed+label%3A%22daily+editor+blocker%22),
+Onivim is **proprietary** software. It is licenced under a commercial 
+[end user agreement licence](https://github.com/onivim/oni2/blob/master/Outrun-Labs-EULA-v1.1.md),
+which prohibits redistribution in both object code and source code formats.
+
+Onivim's source code is availabe on [GitHub](https://github.com/onivim/oni2),
+but its licences make it fall under the 'source availabe' catagory and not
+'open source'. They do mention that the source code trickes down to the
+[oni2-mit](https://github.com/onivim/oni2-mit) repo, which contains (not yet)
+MIT-licenced code, **18 months** after each commit to the original repo.
+
+Contributing to Onivim? Don't. They make a profit out of your contributions.
+Currently, Onivim is priced at $19.99, 'pre-alpha' pricing which is 80% off the
+final price! If you are on the lookout for an editor, I would suggest using
+[Vim](https://vim.org), charityware that actually works, and costs $100 lesser.
