I tried leaving vim for Helix but turns out it's not curated at my employer's site so I'm back to using vim. Zed would be even worse considering it's a desktop app.
There is the option of using vscode but I'm one of those aliens who absolutely dislike that program.
If your employer allows for you to build rust projects, Helix build and installation process from source is pretty straightforward, so that might be an option.
Helix is a terminal app.
Sorry I meant to say Zed. Edit fixed.
I’m with you on VSCode, I just can’t get into it. 20+ years of vim does mean there’s a lot of muscle memory I’m not willing to put aside, and last I checked (admittedly years ago), the vim plugin for VSCode was meh
Maybe you can give the neovim plugin for vscode a try. As a long time vim/neovim user who occasionally do some C# modding stuffs in vscode I find it one of the best "vim" mode plugin out there. The fact that it spawns a real neovim instance makes it working great with your existing neovim config, no need to learn how to add your custom other-than-default vim keymaps using some json config files, it just works, even for navigation plugin like leap.nvim (if my memory is correct).
Zed seems to be using its own vim emulation and config syntax is a huge caveat to me.
