@lizzy what if instead of neovim you got used to regular vim first and then tried neovim and got annoyed because they changed a bunch of things to the worse for no good reason

@lizzy hm, i had the impression that vim was more powerful than micro but idk if that’s true because i don’t really know micro.

@lizzy micro seems to follow the traditional paradigm of text editing that’s used by all(?) text editors that aren’t “vim or emacs or sussy vim clone” and is near-unusable without a mouse. going to micro from vim feels like going to Windows or KDE Plasma after i3wm to me

@rose @lizzy it really is just like the sussy window manglers lol

@fiore @lizzy i was talking about built-in editing features. i am too stupid to script my editor

@fiore @lizzy @kimapr it’s weird; i like vim-like input modes in qutebrowser but i don’t vibe with vim as an editor at all. the advantage of vim’s ergonomic design mostly disappears when you have a custom keyboard with a thumb cluster and you’re constantly using chords and combos anyway.

i use kwrite, kdevelop and rarely kate, which all use the same editor component but are designed for different tasks, and kdevelop’s code completion and background analysis for c/c++ and python is also better and way faster than anything i’ve seen for (n)vim and emacs
