Vim, but actually modern

Switched from Vim after 10 years and never looked back. Built-in LSP support is game-changing. Lua configuration is way cleaner than VimScript. The async architecture makes everything snappier. If you're still on Vim, make the jump - your future self will thank you.

Powerful but steep learning curve

As a VSCode refugee, Neovim has been challenging but rewarding. The plugin ecosystem is incredible - lazy.nvim makes plugin management a breeze. Still learning the modal editing mindset, but my productivity is already improving. Stick with it!

Best Text Editor

Once you learn modal editing, you never go back. Neovim takes Vim and makes it even better with Lua scripting.
