I don't get the appeal of vim over vim emulators. I've always used essentially stock vim with no plugins so I find myself using JetBrains emulated vim. A language server has become necessary for me. If vim LSP competes with JetBrains LSP, I'd make the switch. I have never tried but if I was taking bets I'd bet on JetBrains for what I assume are obvious reasons.
- corndoge 6y agoLanguage servers are pluggable to any frontend via the Language Server Protocol (LSP), and vim has plenty of frontends to go with whatever backend you desire. I like https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim, check out the gif on the readme
- lenkite 6y agoNeovim 0.5 which will come with inbuilt, native LSP is expected to be released soon. It will also feature init.lua - vim config in Lua instead of vimscript!
- chrismorgan 6y agoI have never tried a Vim emulation mode that was not extremely irritating because it got some basic thing very wrong and multiple basic things not quite right.
- konart 6y agoI've been using nvim with LSP (via coc.nvim) for more that a year now. After switching from IDEA. I feel much more productive with vim's speed and plugins then with IDEA\Goland, where I was using less that 20% of it's power I guess. Not to mention that even on MBPr 2019 with 2-3 copies of IDEA in action - IDEA starts to lag like crazy.
