VS Code if given the decision right now?

posted 1 year ago

out of curiousity, since I feel like most of the time I touch any vi derivative it’s because I need a text editor on a command line, not because I really really wanna use it

You do have the option of using whatever you feel is best in any particular circumstance. There’s no reason you need to commit to one of vim or vscode for absolutely everything, and being familiar with a few different tools can be helpful.

For example, if I’m working closely with a team that primarily uses vscode or a jetbrainz IDE then I tend to switch to that since it makes collaboration a little easier.

Neovim is a modal text editor forked off of Vim in 2014. Being modal means that you do not simply type text on screen, but the behavior and functionality of the editor changes entirely depending on the mode.

The most common and most used mode, the “normal mode” for Neovim is to essentially turn your keyboard in to hotkeys with which you can navigate and manipulate text. Several modes exist, but two other most common ones are “insert mode” where you type in text directly as if it was a traditional text editor, and “visual mode” where you select text.

Neovim seeks to enable further community participation in its development and to make drastic changes without turning it in to something that is “not Vim”. Neovim also seeks to enable embedding the editor within GUI applications.
