What features does a "proper IDE" offer that, at least Neovim, does not or cannot provide?
- urthor 4y agoComplex IDEs offer a promise (backed by $$$). Class hierarchy visualization, database schema mappings, the latest & greatest in NLP & code completion via plugins. That "just works." Ultimately, a sufficient amount of configuration adds all those things to Vim/Emacs. Ditto VS Code on a smaller scale. The issue is how much time. I use all the obscure features of IDEs. Navigate to next issue, bookmarks, you name it, I've got it, for large codes. Implementing... all... of the features Intellij/Rider provides out of the box for JVM/React stack in Vim is... an undertaking. Don't get me wrong. I love SpaceVim, and if I worked in a domain like firmware, I'd be far more comfortable with it. Maintaining a Vim config that's integrates every tool I need for JVM and React (and machine learning, and all the other domains) is impossible.
