[NOT ISSUE] How this compared with helm-swoop

[bixuanzju]

I know you are the author of both wonderful packages. I was just wondering how this package compared with helm-swoop? Are there any reasons you created this one (from what I see, they are both very similar)?

Thanks!

Thanks, that's a natural question.
helm.el is a great package, but some people somehow don't like it so much.
And on the top of that, I wanted to rewrite helm-swoop.el without helm.el.

swoop.el has several advantages against helm-swoop.el.
PCRE regexp search, keeping the nearest match line, editing simultaneously.
However, it's still a slight slower than helm-swoop.el...

I'll continue to improve both of them.

Thank you for your answer! I will keep looking at swoop.el :)
