Neovim - Best open source text editor - VIM

It is highly customizable, with lots of plugins to improve my day by doing what I need most effectively (like writing code). There are also some features that could be improved like autofilling lines from files or something similar for quicker editing sessions. A great alternative if you're looking into vim but don't know how powerful it can get! The best feature would definitely have been autoindentation when saving/loading your workspace so as not having too much work at once in case one part gets messed up during coding session while trying things out quickly before going back home after lunch break etc., which was difficult sometimes without switching between buffers manually every time just because they were taking more than 1 second each due their size being large enough compared to mine since i'm using linux OS instead MacOSX / Windows platform where this problem doesn;.

Pros
  • Lots
  • Easy configuration + good documentation
  • Very active community.
  • Highly customized via plugin ecosystem & configurable through.nvg_config file
  • Has almost everything possible within VIM itself such has syntax highlighting.
  • Auto indenting upon save&load works quite well although loading takes about 2 seconds longer then normal operation times.(which might seem insignificant)
Cons
  • Not ableto use native Linux
