hey there,
There are many plugins for various text editors that try to imitate the awesomeness of vim. But, unfortunately fail miserably.
I would like them to run vim at the back and render the text themselves.

Please make it happen.

Best regards,
michael

Neovim exists for that purpose.

Neovim is not quite vim.
Besides, I work in a place that forces us to use windows and I have to use text editors that work on windows.
Some plugins for gvim, and gvim itself don't work quite well.
I would like to use Atom or sublime as my UI, and vim for the editing and ex mode.
I want to use Vim and not an emulator of vim

Ok. So what you are asking for is an effort similar to Neovim, but exactly like Vim, without any transition period. Got it ;)

I want to use Vim and not an emulator in whatever editor I like,
for example I don't want a vim-mode in atom, I want Vim!

Neovim is still in beta and does not work well in windows yet. Furthermore, there are no plugins for atom or sublime that work with Neovim.
Do you have a reasonable solution for my problem?

What are you talking about? What plugins that work in Vim don't work in gvim? It's the exact same program!

And what do you mean gvim doesn't work well in Windows? gvim works great in Windows! Better than in some of its forms in Linux, even, where it depends on what GUI you compile with.
