I don’t want to install 5-10 plugins with a hundreds of config lines just to make it usable. I prefer zed with 0 extensions and vim motions which are built in.

- t_mahmood 1y agoLazyVim makes it trivial, actually. I would take nvim/vim over VSCode any day.
- f311a 1y agoNot really, it installs even more plugins. Some of them are unnecessary. Ideally, every time you update or install a plugin, it must be reviewed. I just don't wanna deal with it and trust plugin developers. I already got bitten by an infected Python library (that used to be legit). I treat plugins the same since they can be used in supply chain attacks.
- t_mahmood 1y agoYou have to trust VS Code plugins too, along with trusting MS not using your code to improve their AI suggestions, or doing a sudden rug pull. All three happened if I remember correctly. You can easily enable/disable plugins in LazyVim, and they are simple Lua Script/VIM scripts easy to review. I don't think VSCode would be that easy. And even with more plugins, nvim/vim will be much more performant then VSCode.
- f311a 1y agoI don't use VS Code, I'm using Zed with zero plugins or jetbrains IDEs with a vim plugin. When I need to edit something on a server, I'm using Neovim with default config.
- eikenberry 1y agoI switched to Helix for the same reason. Though I'm thinking of re-trying with one of the lighter weight pre-configured versions. Astronvim seems like the best one after a bit of weekend research.
