A couple years ago I got really tired of maintaining my own vim configs, like the author of this piece mentions (plugins and updates causing problems). I just wanted to get out of the business of maintaining my own configs, so I decided to try a bundle, and eventually ended up on LunarVim, with a small handful of "dealbreaker" config changes. As opposed to a basic vim and then a bunch of plugins and custom configs. I've been pretty happy with it, but other options are worth checking out (SpaceVim, NvChad, LazyVim, AstroVim). LunarVim has finally deivered a working LSP/TreeSitter which I always only got half working or would break once I had it working, in my self-managed configs.

I also settled on Lunarvim (ans stopped worrying) I kinda had the same journey as the author except that I clinged to the terminal workflow he had leave behind. Choosing a Neovim distro was the solution for me.

    That's a bummer. Time to jump ships. I guess concentration of efforts in this espace is a good idea.

I had tried and failed multiple times to start using Vim (after using Vim binds for a while), and actually failed the transition right before my 6 month stint with Zed. It was actually this post[0] from the creator of Gleam [1] that brought LazyVim to my attention. I made a handle full of modifications, removing certain plugins and adding others. I'm very happy with the result. Its been two weeks of using it at both work and home productively. 0: https://lpil.uk/blog/what-i-use-2023/#software https://lpil.uk/blog/what-i-use-2023/#software 1: https://gleam.run/ https://gleam.run/
