If I get a chance to talk to ThePrimeagen I'm obviously going to have to ask him about why vim is so great and why he started using it in the first place.

I use more or less vanilla Vim. I do compile it myself and I always enable Lua and a few other languages and features, but I still use it like standard Vim, for the most part. I only use two plugins with it, and one of those I only installed a couple of weeks ago just to play with the plugin manager thing. The other one I've been using for like two decades to enable smart tab completion, and it's written in VimScript. I still haven't gotten an answer of any kind from anyone on why NeoVim is better than Vim, especially since you can enable Lua yourself anyway. Is it just about having it on by default or not being required to build from source? Or is there a feature I'm missing out on?

I suppose less config with premade plugins... Probably how config looks after it's done with meaningful letters... I dont like how some plugins have to add new ways to show stuff so I didn't go with neovim. They make default options in vim guessing... But I do use Vim, with ale and vim-signify to show git changes in the line... Pretty much 300 lines vimrc file, ~200 comments... I just mostly like the default look, changed ruler to be more neat, added working highlights, tab completion how I like, auto insertion and tab indents look like arrows width of 2-4 characters... I always know when they are there now. I also use netrw that comes with vim, as I like it's folder view, and set the default view. Then I made sure I load config for filetype and search project ./.vim/tags file to get tags to work... It works perfectly well on under 200€ laptop and as I installed linux on it... power lasts 10+ hours instead of proposed 3-4 hours windows S... and stays cool no overheating. PC is for fun and laptop for writing.

@@JMIK1991 I just checked my own .vimrc and according to `cloc`, 62 lines are blank, 158 are comments, and only 178 are actual configuration. Of course most of the comment lines were previously used as a configuration and as I've replaced things over the past 25 years I've just commented them out instead of deleting them.

there's a couple good features in neovim that i like before i moved to emacs but honestly, you don't need that noise if you're just gonna stick with mostly vanilla

@anon_y_mousse 3 ай бұрын

@@weakspirit_ Okay, but what were those features in NeoVim? And why did you move to Emacs?

@weakspirit_ 3 ай бұрын

@@anon_y_mousse neovim provides a richer and more powerful set of APIs. this means you naturally have a much larger selection of plugins to use AND they can do stuff that vim couldn't offer. there's some saner default settings too, but you can do that in vim too. see? none of these things affect your workflow if you stick to vanilla. also, from my experience, working with vimscript is just awful in every way compared to lua. in the early days of neovim, it's basically just "vim but robust". it had new APIs but they were few and not remarkable. i was one of the few people that gave it a try. i liked it, since it exposed a couple new features that allowed my plugins+configs to perform better. however, i was unable to keep up in configuring it and later realized that neovim is going to undergo a rather large ecosystem change with the introduction of the lua API. so, i got curious to see what goes on in emacs. i found spacemacs which is great at the time. but soon, i'm going to have to move because there's too much legacy practices that makes configs pretty painful. not to mention that it's emacs lisp instead of common lisp, yuck.
