Come with me, I'll talk about my history with Neovim/Vim, this awesome and different way to write code (and other things).
I hope you enjoy it.
A while ago, in middle of 2023 I started using Linux again, then I discovered Vim, this common text editor in distributions terminal based. I tried it for the first time, to be honestly, I completely HATE it, in my head don't make any sense you have modes(normal, insert and visual) just to write text, It's like a cannon to kill an ant. I remember to think - Why use 3 modes to do what one mode do?!
Starting 2024 I tried it again, but this I'm really determined to transform Vim in my main text editor. I started choosing LazyVim as my setup. To install and configure I watched this video Zero to IDE with LazyVim. Then, I learned some commands, known as Vim Motions, I watched some videos from Thayto (My Vim master) and used mainly the plugin called Vim Be Good to practice.
I continue using Vim and enjoying learn commands to improve my speed writing code. I recommend you use Vim, is like to play a game while you write, trust me, it's really fun.
There's my dotfiles (Vim configuration) if you want to download.
