minus-square𝔻𝕒𝕧𝕖@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·8 months agoLong time vim user here. Practically had to choose right after starting as a dev, never looked back. All my editors/IDEs run in vim mode nowadays. I don’t like the hassle of plugin management in vanilla vim. I didn’t like evil spacemacs, but I do enjoy magit a lot. Then tried neovim: good out-of-the-box experience, better plugin management, ready-to-use systems like nvchad. It’s been great.
minus-squarefinestnothing@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 months agoYou should look into doom emacs, much better than spacemacs imo, especially as someone who also exclusively codes with vim keybinds
