Neovim 0.8 Released
If you use Neovim, can you share why you chose it over VS Code, or one of the new terminal-based editors like <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;helix-editor.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;helix-editor.com&#x2F;</a>, or new native GUI editors like <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;zed.dev&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;zed.dev&#x2F;</a> ?<p>It&#x27;s impressive to see what the Neovim community has built — preconfigured setups like <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nvchad.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nvchad.com&#x2F;</a> are especially wild. But it still feels like a huge amount of work, hoop jumping, and _fragility_ just to reach parity with VS Code&#x2F;Helix&#x2F;Zed, which are pretty great out of the box, and which were built to be used as rich development environments instead of extensible text editors.<p>I&#x27;ve spent months tweaking Neovim&#x2F;Emacs configs in the past and I ultimately end up conceding that I&#x27;d rather spend that time hacking on projects instead of my editor config. I do feel the pull of these editors, though. I&#x27;d love to understand what those who stick with them are doing differently, other than perhaps being more susceptible to sunk cost fallacies. :-)
