I really should try that out more. But from my limited foray into using vim emulation: it's not perfect + I really don't like how resource intensive and slow IDEs are + it's not just using vim text navigation, but my neovim plugins, tmux, ripgrep, fdfind, etc.

I currently don't have the bandwidth to look into this kinda stuff, hence my call-to-action for "talented folks" :)
- mike_hearn 5y agoRight, but part of why IDEs are resource intensive is they're doing a lot of analysis of the code. If you write an LSP you'll have the same issue because the same work has got to get done somewhere.
- davidatbu 5y agoIt's true that some LSPs are resource intensive too. But in my experience, the "little things" like opening the editor/IDE, and new files, quickly/instantaneously tend to be better with neovim rather than IDEs. I'd love to hear about others' experiences about this though!
