Honestly… everybody should try out neovim for at least a week. I mean like… fully commit to it.

It’s just amazing how fast and light on resource usage it is, compared to vscode.

For reference: I just opened qmk_firmware which has a shit load of clang code and files. Guess what, neovim doesn’t even break a sweat, while vscode almost burns my CPU.

    Welcome, friend! I mostly use JVM languages at work these days which makes me sad because Neovim isn’t so great for them. It really is such a great editor though. It’s great fun seeing how people customise it as well.

      Lol… I also spent the last week in customizing, going throuh almost all distros, until I found LazyVim to be the most vanilla one, with sane defaults and a great documentation.

        I’m using LunarVim, but LazyVim looks similar. I wonder how they compare. I found LunarVim to be a good starting point, but I’ve customized it quite a bit at this point.

          For me, LunarVim feels more like NVChad, with it’s own set of options to control neovim… I’m honestly not a huge fan of this approach.

          lvim.builtin.lualine.sections.lualine_c = {...}

          I prefer the “lazy” way using plugin files, with the lazy notation, since it feels more agnostic.
