<div dir="ltr"><div>I've never really gotten comfortable with VSCode. I don't spend much time programming, so most of my editing is Ansible files, text, logfiles, and most of the programming I do is single file source rather than whole projects. VSCode just doesn't really seem comfortable to me, for those uses.</div><div><br></div><div>But I've looked longingly at all the enhanced features you get in VSCode. I've tried a variety of things to get vim to do fancy things, and ended up with a barely functional mess.</div><div><br></div><div>So I started looking at other options to building my own set of plugins. Onivim2, kakoune, I forget what else.</div><div><br></div><div>I've ended up landing on LunarVim and have been pretty dog gone happy with it.</div><div><br></div><div>It's a set of configs and plugins for NeoVim, with opinionated defaults, and integrations with TreeSitter and LSP to get all sorts of advance syntax highlighting, code intelligence, formatting...
