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

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

Neat little IDE if only there were plugins

The fact that I can use my favorite text editor, VIM to code in JavaScript with ease is awesome! It's been an incredible experience using neovim for work and personal projects. There are some features missing (like debugging) but it's still pretty great so far. For example, you cannot watch variables as they change during runtime. You have to stop execution of your program first. This makes sense because watching variables would be very slow when executing millions of lines of code at once. Ifโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great command line tool easy installation from npm install global nvim; just works.
  • Good support within node environment if used properly along side other tools available there suchas nodemon,
  • Supports standard commands via CLI interface easily without ever leaving GUIand all options accessible through UI also., ,Great documentation provided by authors which help new users get started fast while providing detailed information about every option
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok
