I’ve been spending the weekend getting setup in NeoVim and have enjoyed the process so far. It’s definitely not for people who want a plug-and-play IDE, but if you want to see all the programming details that are involved in a text editor (and learn some Lua along the way), then I highly recommend it.
Fair warning, it is HIGHLY recommended you come in with a working knowledge of Vim first.
- linsomniac 2y agoI'd recommend using one of the editor bundles like LazyVim or SpaceVim. I was using Lunarvim and very happy with it, but he's discontinued development on it so I'm planning on moving to LazyVim. After 30+ years of messing around with vi configuration, I'm glad to have someone else doing the bulk of the work.
- syndicatedjelly 2y agoHm wish I knew that, I just got set up in LunarVim...
- milch 2y agoSetting it up from scratch isn't, but if you just want something that works you can always go with one of the pre-made distributions, which is about as plug and play as you can get. I've had colleagues that were up and running after 10min with all the bells and whistles you expect from a modern IDE by just setting up LazyVim. Really the hardest part is the modal editing workflow, which is just inherent in how vim and nvim work - and I would recommend to set up regardless of which editor you use (e.g. by using the VSCode Neovim plugin)
