> One of my New Year's resolutions is to learn Neovim properly.

I'm decades in at this point and still learning. Just keep in mind you don't need to know everything before getting a massive benefit out of it.

My top features:

- Fingers do not leave the home row (only good if you are a touch typer, but if you aren't, do it, it is worth it)

- Terminal based (so you can use it over ssh when needed, or pipe data into it during scripting sessions)

- Starts fast

- Navigating and editing with text objects (though this took me a while to work into my workflow)

- Regular expressions w/ ex commands

- Filtering text with cli commands via ex

- Editable macros

If you haven't gone through `vimtutor`, I recommend that as an early step.
