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://helix-editor.com/" rel="nofollow">https://helix-editor.com/</a>, or new native GUI editors like <a href="https://zed.dev/" rel="nofollow">https://zed.dev/</a> ?<p>It's impressive to see what the Neovim community has built — preconfigured setups like <a href="https://nvchad.com/" rel="nofollow">https://nvchad.com/</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/Helix/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've spent months tweaking Neovim/Emacs configs in the past and I ultimately end up conceding that I'd rather spend that time hacking on projects instead of my editor config. I do feel the pull of these editors, though. I'd love to understand what those who stick with them are doing differently, other than perhaps being more susceptible to sunk cost fallacies. :-)
