I’m thinking of switching from VSC to VIM because VSC is too heavy in term of ressources usage.
Currently, I use the VSC + VIM extension and I’m pretty happy.
But nowadays, I avoid to open some monorepo projects because it takes too much time and I use the Github explorer instead. Also, I use the mouse too much.
So I finally took the decision to give a try to Neovim.
I initially started with SpaceVIM and it was a good experience. But there is too much magic for me. Also, I have the feeling to not learn VIM.
So I setup CoC with VIM-plug + NerdTree. It looks promising.
Do you have any tips for me?
Sorry for my late answer.

I used Vim before NeoVim and despite not liking VimL as a language, the basic Vim configuration was better than doing it with Lua IMO.
But I got used to it, and it’s not bad after all.
The thing though, when learning Vim, the commands, the motions, the settings… learning Lua on top of that can be daunting.
About LSP vs CoC.
CoC was a pain in the neck to setup, I needed python and other stuff (if I recall correctly) and it didn’t work as I wanted/expected.
LSP-zero works almost out of the box, and Mason (optional but recommended) will install LSP for the languages you want.
It’s very convenient and I use LSP everyday now, and it’s a very nice programming experience.
