Why Neovim

Some of you may wonder why I use neovim as my IDE instead of more modern tools like VSCode. I’m a big fan of VSCode and I think it’s a great IDE but neovim provides customizability far greater than any IDE out there. With neovim, I rarely have to take my hands off of the keyboard and I code much faster than I was ever able to. I started out by using vim bindings on VSCode and eventually made the jump to neovim once I got comfortable. I encourage others to do the same if they’re curious about how to improve their workflow.

My Config

My config is heavily inspired by TJ Devries’ Kickstart.nvim. Some plugins that it supports are

  • LSPConfig
  • Treesitter
  • Telescope
  • Harpoon
  • Cmp
  • Lualine
  • Nvimtree
  • Autosave
  • Hop
