Experience with neoVim

Question

I heard about the new code editor, neovim it's powered by Lua, and it's a level-up version of Vim editor. Does anyone have experience with Neovim? I want more feedback on this

Answer 1

it's good if you're an expert coder who:
code fast,
can touchtype,
likes to:
memorize lots of key bindings,
tweak preferences and use lua,
minimize using the mouse or pad,
work without gui,
small app size and fast startup time,
look cool while coding...

it's a skill flex to impress people.

like a flashy barista or an entertaining hibachi chef, you can use it to show people you're good by rapidly typing on your keyboard, turning coding into a performance art.

vscode is fine, unless your skill level have outgrown it.

in the end, coffee is coffee, steak is steak, code is code.

Answer 2

It's not accurate to definitively say that Neovim is "better" than VS Code, or vice versa. They are different tools with different philosophies and cater to different user preferences and needs.

Answer 3

Zahra Ehsani yes it's a decent code editor. Tried it.
I also code in Lua as well so I'm saying it is decent based on experience.
