I am a vscodium user who has begun to get increasingly frustrated over lack of commands to do some simple things.
So, as a longtime GNU/Linux user, who only knew basic commands to survive in vim, I decided to change my habits.
installed flavours of neovim(lunarvim, nvchad, and astronvim, in that order) and started tinerking. then switched to kick start.nvim.
on Android, I’m using plain neovim since there seems to be some missing lib for mason, the neovim package manager.
passing away of Bram Moolenaar has made me accelerate faster towards the day where my machine would be clean of any electron bloat.
I’m still very much a novice, and continue using codium in office, but I am committed to using neovim as I believe it’s truly a great editor(second to Emacs, of course).

above it is the text that reads, ‘learning about ci" in vim.’
I love vim and vim based editors.
I used to use stock Vim but recently I’ve started using Helix which is like a more user friendly version of vim (copying to clipboard is easy) and I’m loving it!
If it’s easier to use how are we supposed to keep the Emacs people away?
wow, good to know that there are still terminal-based text editors being developed.
I’ll surely try it.
Helix is pretty cool, I think the Lemmy devs use it too.
I use it because it’s purple and I like purple.
royal choice, I see :)
Whoa that website’s demo video is selectable text that plays like a video
Looks like it’s using https://asciinema.org/
+1 for Helix. I found it recently and it feels way easier to make changes and add support for new languages.
If only they would support vim keybindings
