*_Neovim - an editor you don't want to exit_*

[thatsalot]

I swear to god half of the tooling decisions I've taken in life are influenced by this man.

[acidjumps]

Sounds really cool, as soon as I exit Vim, I'm getting into NeoVim!

[ThePrimeagen]

Came for fireship, stayed for can't exit vim memes

Learn Lua to create game engine ❌
Learn Lua to create perfect config for Neovim ✅

Neovim, an editor where you spend 90% of your time configuring it with the plugins and the rest of it actually coding

[Xldbeats]

Congrats on this video being the official "Intro" video on Neovim's home page! Your dedication to quality videos has paid off

After a week, I made my own custom config. It’s really easy to do nowadays. Been running it for 4 months and it’s great. While it’s not out-of-the-box configured, you don’t need to spend all your time setting it up. Some people just can’t settle for anything less than perfect. If you can do that, you’ll be well off with Neovim(which I love, btw).

The beauty of the 'X in 100 Seconds' format really shines with Vim and related topics. Every other type of video you see on YouTube about Vim or Emacs or the like weirdly assumes that the viewer has never heard of them before and needs to have a 20-minute Theory of Text Editing lecture. Then another 15 minutes of the guy rambling about who the video is suitable for. Then a disclaimer about it being just his opinion and (*chuckle*) he don't want to start a holy war or nothin'. Then a word from the sponsor. And finally after pretty much an hour if there's anyone left you might get to see Vim doing something.

Hands down Neovim is the best code editor that I've used. Configuring it has become a hobby 🙂, maybe too much of a hobby.

[lunarshuttle]

Been using Vim for almost 20 years, and have felt that scripting has felt cumbersome. This seems like the way to go, after watching this I have to try to do the leap. Thanks!

[radvilardian]

I've included VimScript and Lua in my CV after I spent days of configuring it my own way. What a coincident this video pops out into my very face 🔥

[kevintran]

Coming here from ThePrimeagen and what I can say is that I really don't regret it, time to watch some more Fireship.

[beck]

This is the "in 100 seconds" I wish I had 3 months ago when I was first messing with neovim!

Also the TJ plug makes me very happy. The man deserves it :D

[nsght_l]

I use neovim emedded into VS code and i absolutely LOVE it

[tuckerbeauchamp]

Just a heads up, for anyone reading this in the future. Packer is now unmaintained. So you might want a different package manager. I switched to Lazy, and found it to be an easy transition

[kein]

It is a really nice summary!

GO Teej!

[andrewc]

As I have migrated from VSC to Nvim, I am so exciting about this video.

[Jombo]

I like customizing my code editors more than I like coding.

[maxz]

This is a great summary, so much information in such a short video.
