> a real IDE (vs code)

Much better to use Neovim than a very clunky slow editor like VS Code or Jetbrains just to edit a text file.

The keyboard is far faster than clicking everywhere with the mouse.

This gets said a lot, but it's not like vscode doesn't have keyboard support.

  • I wouldn't have made the switch if I was not able to keep my vim movements and modes. There's a great extension `vscodevim` that even implements some of the common extras like vim-motion

I use the Vim plugin to keep my keyboard navigation, editor modes, and such... best of both worlds.

I think the sentiment that VS Code is clunky and slow is outdated. I have seen no noticeable impact since moving over from neovim
