LazyVim
I've been using vim for years, switched to neovim, and at this point I'm ready to throw in the towel and just use vscode for anything beyond simple text editing.The amount of work needed to get a basic IDE up and running for your languages of choice, even for commonly used languages such as Python or Javascript, is far too much for someone who wants to get on with their day job or hobby coding and doesn't want to spend precious hours fixing obscure issues in Lua.Furthermore, the community does not have a good culture of documentation and learning: too many plugins have very sparse docs, and other online resources such as the Neovim subreddit are hostile to newcomers with "RTFM" a common answer. The community is also fragmented, with too many ways to do the same thing in the name of some platonic ideal of personal freedom over practicality.A simple question like "How do I set up Black with neovim to format my Python files on save?" will yield a dozen answers, each one with someone's favourite plugin. Setting up that plugin will require another plugin, and so on until you end up with a Jenga tower of dependencies that doesn't quite work the way you want, but is too fragile and time-consuming to tweak correctly.In the meantime, I can just Ctrl+P and install what I need in vscode and be on my way in a few minutes.I don't particularly like vscode. It's heavy and slow and janky, particularly on older laptops. I don't like being sucked back into the Microsoft ecosystem after spending years getting away from it. But ultimately, I want to just get on with my job, and my job is not Lua Developer or Neovim Plugin Expert.
