I dont know who is a neovim user here, but its one of my favorite code editors for a long time.

I didnt use vim much but neovim is built on its core principles.

Editors come and go. Right now its VS Code that is popular. But it will eventually fade away and be replaced by something else. As a person who also really dislike big tech, I want to use an editor that doesnt come from a big tech company. And neovim is just amazing.

If anyone wants tips on resources etc, just ping me.

    VS Code and Vim have different use cases for me.

    For me Vim is for quick edits on the command line. Or if it’s a client system, Vim or Vi may be the only thing installed, and I’m not going to install packages on someone else’s machine just for my preference.

    VS Code is where I make things on my machine. I may tweak what I made later in Vim once it’s deployed.

      It’s quite nice as a full editor also, if you ever would feel like trying it out. Neovim has improved a lot of things about vim and now it has great auto complete features and so on for most languages.
