Am I the only one to still use regular vim? I tried to switch to Neovim a few years ago, but there were a few things I didn't like, so I switched back. Vim has improved tremendously, so I no longer feel a need to switch. With LSP and Copilot, I feel that I am close to the optimal dev environment these days...
I use so few features I could be using a 30 year old vi and not know it.
Curious what you don't like about it. I only just swapped over and haven't noticed much of a change yet
I use regular vim. I hated typing the extra letter for neovim and didn't find myself using any of its extra features anyway.
With Bram Moolenaar death, I sincerely think that vim will no longer be able to play catch-up with nvim. Bram Moolenaar did an amazing job with nvim, but with its death I think that vim is going to be an editor of the past, just like vi is an editor of the past. And nvim is its successor since its where the developers have moved.
I'm staying with Vim, mainly because I hate Lua.
Vim9script is fine, I write enough small scripts in it that it hasn't annoyed me. Vim's plugins, and NerdTree in particular, make it a perfectly good editor for this millennium as well as the last.
I use it daily, with ultisnips, to write reports at work!
I did similar. Tried out nvim, thinking here's the new vim with everything I like from vim plus new benefits... didn't have a great experience. Switched back to vim; been happy since.
Don't remember what it was that put me off nvim, but hey, I like vim.
Now I'm excited for Lapce; but it has some way to come before I can use it happily without learning how to tweak it myself.
And still sometimes I wonder about going back to Emacs for some things, but with eVil mode!
Is it possible to have .vimrc store somewhere in ~/.config?
AFAIK, only if you use Neovim.
