SpaceVim vs Webpacker: What are the differences?

Developers describe SpaceVim as "Like spacemacs, but for vim". SpaceVim is a Modular configuration, a bundle of custom settings and plugins, for Vim. It got inspired by spacemacs. On the other hand, Webpacker is detailed as "Use Webpack to manage app-like JavaScript modules in Rails (by Rails)". Webpacker makes it easy to use the JavaScript preprocessor and bundler Webpack to manage application-like JavaScript in Rails. It coexists with the asset pipeline, as the purpose is only to use Webpack for app-like JavaScript, not images, css, or even JavaScript Sprinkles (that all continues to live in app/assets).

SpaceVim and Webpacker are primarily classified as "Tools for Text Editors" and "JS Build Tools / JS Task Runners" tools respectively.

SpaceVim and Webpacker are both open source tools. It seems that SpaceVim with 11.5K GitHub stars and 957 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Webpacker with 4.29K GitHub stars and 893 GitHub forks.

What are some alternatives to SpaceVim and Webpacker?

Spacemacs

Since version 0.101.0 and later Spacemacs totally abolishes the frontiers between Vim and Emacs. The user can now choose his/her preferred editing style and enjoy all the Spacemacs features. Even better, it is possible to dynamically switch between the two styles seamlessly which makes it possible for programmers with different styles to do seat pair programming using the same editor.

Vim

Vim is an advanced text editor that seeks to provide the power of the de-facto Unix editor 'Vi', with a more complete feature set. Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient text editing. It is an improved version of the vi editor distributed with most UNIX systems. Vim is distributed free as charityware.

Neovim

Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to: simplify maintenance and encourage contributions, split the work between multiple developers, enable the implementation of new/modern user interfaces without any modifications to the core source, and improve extensibility with a new plugin architecture.

Oni

ONI is a NeoVim front-end UI with rich IDE-like UI integration points, drawing inspiration from VSCode, Atom, and LightTable. IDE powered by Neovim + React + Electron.

ReSharper

It is a popular developer productivity extension for Microsoft Visual Studio. It automates most of what can be automated in your coding routines. It finds compiler errors, runtime errors, redundancies, and code smells right as you type, suggesting intelligent corrections for them.
