Honestly... everybody should try out neovim for at least a week. I mean like... fully commit to it.

It's just amazing how fast and light on resource usage it is, compared to vscode.

For reference: I just opened qmk_firmware which has a shit load of clang code and files. Guess what, neovim doesn't even break a sweat, while vscode almost burns my CPU.

I think that one is more of a VS code replacement (it will be, in time). It's just so fast and it's vim mode is excellent.

I used neovim a lot before and still do in the terminal, but zed is faster and smoother for code editing actually.

If you are open to GUI editors, have you tried neovim frontends, like neovide ?

Yeah I liked it a lot too. Fun with the graphical effects and felt smoother than neovim in terminal for me.
