I am a vscodium user who has begun to get increasingly frustrated over lack of commands to do some simple things.
So, as a longtime GNU/Linux user, who only knew basic commands to survive in vim, I decided to change my habits.
installed flavours of neovim(lunarvim, nvchad, and astronvim, in that order) and started tinerking. then switched to kick start.nvim.
on Android, I’m using plain neovim since there seems to be some missing lib for mason, the neovim package manager.
passing away of Bram Moolenaar has made me accelerate faster towards the day where my machine would be clean of any electron bloat.

I’m still very much a novice, and continue using codium in office, but I am committed to using neovim as I believe it’s truly a great editor(second to Emacs, of course).

    passing away of Bram Moolenaar has made me accelerate faster towards the day where my machine would be clean of any electron bloat.

    Was he electroncuted or something?

      bram was a chad, mate. I once opened vim without any file(just plain vi) and saw help poor children in Uganda. read whole uganda.txt file and then saw how his organisation is fully involved in getting material benefits to the ground. further went down the rabbithole and saw his org’s photos in uganda.
      made me really appreciate the man.

      to answer your punny question, he was ill.
