No, mate. I don’t need a guide, or a tour. Just a single clarifying sentence.
“My product does x”. Right now, x could be:
- help you scam people
- provide a meditation partner
- help you learn how to code in Cobol
- give travel tips
- …
What does your product DO? And dong you dare answer “it helps you make money”, that does not explain anything.
Neovim, because I wanted something that would not just disappear.
I never really got along with VSCode, opting for Atom instead. Microsoft bought GitHub, which owned Atom, and promptly discontinued it.
Nvim has such an active community (and no “owner”) that I’m certain that this won’t happen again. At the same time, the plugin system is so flexible that I’m also certain that I will never miss out on any shiny new features.
Over the years, my config has matured, and is mine. The thought of going back to an editor, any editor, less flexible in its configuration than nvim is just… an absolute “no”.
It’s a steep learning curve, but well worth it.
