For me, I'm not interested in Vim's modal editing. But I use Neovim daily (mostly in insert mode like a noob). The reason for this is that Neovim blows every other text editor out of the water in two areas: time to launch, and multi-language syntax highlighting.
If I'm in the command line and I want to edit a text file, VS Code takes 4 seconds. Neovim takes 400ms. I installed vim-polyglot and it has syntax highlighting for even weird config files. I don't understand why no one is competitive with Vim by these metrics.
- coliveira 4y agoVim can be used in easy mode, where you have no modal editing. Just start vim with the -y option.
