bought and used many IDEs (still owns all jetbrains stuff) but 99% of the time I'm using vim for everything.
it does have a learning curve and took a while to settle down all those key bindings with plugins. once you past that point, it never stands in the way, and I don't need move my fingers away from the keyboard to pick the mouse and click here and there then move my hands back to keyboard anymore.
- iamcreasy 5y agoIs Vim with plugin still as good when you have to switch between multiple languages with good debugging support? or some languages/plugins are better supported than other?
- ngngngng 5y agoI mostly use copilot and the most popular LSP for any language I'm developing. And I mostly write Go and Python. Any mature, popular language will have plenty of tooling and plugins for you to work with, but not all tooling is created equal. For me, everything works much better in Go than in Python. Copilot suggestions are far more useful, the LSP has a lot more useful info to give me, etc. There are a couple "flavors" of neovim that do a lot of the heavy lifting for you as far as plugin setup to give you a better initial setup experience, otherwise you will need to put in some work to finding all the plugins you want, and some of that work will need to be repeated for each language you want to write.
