Just switched to Neovim and it's amazing (lemm.ee)

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.

Neovim is genuinely great, but I miss full integrated multicursor support, none of the multicursor libraries quite work seamlessly, I also miss the easily made javascript extensions every time I dive into lua

On the other hand dropping mouse usage entirely is a good little boost to productivity

For me using the nvim extension inside vscode was the sweet spot

I find Lua much more pleasant to code in than JavaScript.

Isn't this multicursor plugin one of the best, compared to, for exampme, VSCode?

also :%s/findStr/replaceStr/g gives a live preview too.

:%s/findStr/replaceStr/g

has been around before neovim

How does the nvim-extension compare to vscodevim?

This is the way. Best of both worlds
