I wanted an editor that could quickly edit documents that are a megabyte or more in size. DroidVim seems fine editing and searching through such documents. (I'll never use "advanced" features such as programming language support, so I can't comment on those.) I've found the developer to be quick and helpful in response to questions via email. It took me a while to adjust to DroidVim's modes and commands but I'm now very pleased with it.

Why is this now (A) starting up on its own and running in the background; (B) setting itself up as a disk-drive?!?!?!? The latter causes the built-in Android 8 file manager to crash, making it impossible to open files & directories in many other apps, rendering those apps unusable. ---------- I'm done. I'll stick with running actual vim from within Termux.

Works like standard vim. I'm not a power user but I haven't noticed any missing features. Block folding works. j and k for scrolling isn't convenient because of the phone's keyboard but I swipe the screen up and down instead. Edits text files on Dropbox just fine, and I edit the same files on PC with standard Vim. Line breaks sometimes auto change from dos to Linux but could be due to Dropbox, convert back using :e ++ff=dos
