Ready for the open waters? Recent developments have fundamentally changed our knowledge of vinyl cation reactivity. The myth that they are too reactive for a predictable reaction design has been debunked, and the applicability of their most distinguished feature, namely their carbene‐like reactivity, has taken a major leap forwards. Vinyl cations have thus matured into distinct reactive intermediates with a bright future ahead.
