Why is there a need for a fork? I know there are some key differences, but I was wondering why neovim's features be implemented in vim.

Here are a few light-hearted jokes that you could share with an Emacs user:

"Why did the Emacs user switch to Vim? Because they wanted to be able to exit the editor."

"Why was the Emacs user upset when they lost their cursor? Because they couldn't find their point."

"Why was the Emacs user excited about the new release of their editor? Because it had a cut and paste feature."

"Why was the Emacs user upset when their editor crashed? Because they lost all their parenthesis."

I hope these jokes bring a smile to your friend's face! Just be sure to keep in mind that everyone has different senses of humor, so it's important to be mindful of your friend's feelings and to not overstep any boundaries.

Hi

I have been noticing quite a lot of posts recently on my feed about neovim despite me not been subscribed to that subreddit.

I know there are many people who are really happy about neovim blah blah. I get it.

What I am saying is that this is a vim subreddit and as far as I remember they are different projects, so information about neovim should not be relevant in this subreddit.

I make a call to the mods of this sub to start taking action against such a posts.

And dont get me wrong . I am not against neovim. I may try it myself in some months. But I am happy with vim. Personsally I see these people who do these posts (not the whole neovim community) as bored people with the will to find an enemy in order to spit stuff out to them making them feel superior. It is pretty much like Linux Distro hoping culture. A bunch of fan boys wasting their time installing new stuff constantly never happy with their current setup.

Myself and many professionals have spent so much time tuning their setups and are actually happy , or dont consider effective to spend their time onto introducing a certain new tool that may not bring that turnover spent on learning a new system. Some of us have deadlines to meet , families to feed and other activities to spend outside this nonsensical debate.

I dont hate neovim , nor their community, but this is not a neovim forum, please stop or lets moderate non-related posts. And if you want to get involved in vims development just use github. I feel like if this posts carry on showing up in my feed I will even unsubscribe to this sub , so please mods do something about it.

Thank you.

So, I've only heard of vim and how it doesn't require mouse at all. And as a React Developer, I wanted to ask, using plain text editor for the work of development, will it not be more tedious ? Specially if, it means no longer using VSCode ? VSCode GUI offers side menu, which are very helpful in searching files, very useful to have two split screens during conflict resolving, and all. How will all of it be offered via plain terminal tex editor ?

Please enlighten me. So far, what I know VIM for is a plain text editor. To turn it.

PS: This is not me trying to say why VSCode is better, but trying understand how Vim tackles all the GUI features provided by the VSCode ?

Do any of you guys hop over to r/emacs or r/nano and heckle them on their inferior text editors?

Or are we all past that and more mature now?

Vim keybindings work great in Vim, but that's as far as it goes for me. I don't need my file manager to work like Vim. Same goes for my window manager and my video editor.

If the answer is yes, why do you use it? Isn't it much more practical to use the arrows to navigate the text in insert mode, than to be constantly switching from insert mode to normal mode to navigate through the file?

Hello everyone

seen lot of people talking about it for years, never used it

why would i use it instead of a regular IDE like VS code?

some people mentioned it speedup things..to what extent? how much time can it really save if you are an expert?

Every time I am searching for some Vim material I end up in a plethora of people that instead of being constructive they just suggest to switch to Neovim.

I don’t get it: what’s the problem if one is fine with Vim and wants to stay with Vim?

I've been learning vim a few weeks, but I encounter the scripts and configuration for vim, the environment variables, paths, some commandas and so on. I'd been using Linux for a year, I don't know much about commands and Linux structure, therefore I'm stating from scratch again.

I was learning just VIM but I changed to NVIM at once, and I don't know if using NVIM is necessary learn vimscript or just skip it and go for Lua.

The development of neovim seems to be getting much more focus from more developers (even Apple), so I am wondering why anyone would choose vim over neovim.
