Hello! Vim is a text editor that has been around for a long time and has a large user base. However, Neovim (Nvim) is a fork of Vim that aims to improve upon it in several ways. Here are some reasons why you might want to consider using Nvim!
Plugins
Most editors have bad plugins. For example, VSCode doesn’t allow extensions to make everything they want but Neovim gives that. Developer can do everything (s)he want with Neovim. It’s VERY customizable. You can make everything with it.
Fast
Most editors are really bad when it comes to performance. But, Neovim is really fast. If your configuration is not bloated with a lot of plugins, it will be really fast. If it’s bloated, it won’t be really fast.
Keyboard Friendly
For example, in VSCode. If you want to select a file,
you’ll use mouse, which is really slow.
But in Neovim, you are doing everything with keyboard, keymaps etc.
For example, you can use :e to open a file, :w to save a file,
:q to quit a file etc. You don’t need to use File menu to save,
or CTRL-s etc. You just need to do :w. Not easy, but comfortable
Dotfiles
For example, in VSCode, you made a configuration. When you want to share it,
we will have a problem. You want to share it like, “Open Marketplace,
install blabla, change this from this…” and this is so boring. But
in Neovim, you just need to share your ~/.config/nvim directory
and you’ll be good to go. That’s really easy. I know, creating configuration
is really hard but if you manage to do it, you will use it a REALLY
long time.
