Migrating from VSCode to Neovim
Best editor
I've been a VSCode 'hardcore' user for years. Memorized every shortcuts, creates my own keybinding, configuring Open Default Setting for more customizability. I'm swift with it.
However when you starts having tons of extensions for multiple different projects, it starts getting slow at startup time; due to it spins up the extensions that you don't even need for that particular project. So then I have to manually cherry-pick the extensions I want to enable and vice-versa.
I am inspired by ThePrimeagen (multi-billion) blazingly-fast coding experience 🔗 in Neovim without even have to touch the mouse; all keyboard. But I was too scared to switch because of the learning curve I've been 'brainwashed' that vim motions is hard. I often used Vim for lightweight editing(usually README file) as my learning process with vim motions.
But now here I am, full-time Neovim user, never touch VSCode ever since. I'm that type of guy that likes to overcomplicates things to get things done. So that I spent months configuring my Neovim plugins, colorscheme, remaps etc. Not even used any fancy boilerplate such as Lunar, Chad or Lazy. I like everything is configured on my own. I can now be blazingly-fast in navigating, editing and such. Thanks to the open-source community. Most of my Neovim config are available on my Github 🔗
Been using Neovim for few months and I love it.
I can now proudly say, I use Arch(btw) and I use Vim(btw)
