Neovim
How I imagine this conversation went: "Look, I realize you don't want to pay for something that's free, but you have to understand that it's virtually impossible to exit this program."
If you exit the program, then you aren’t coding, and we’re paying you to code. :w on, coder.
Damn that's pretty based my guy.
Thank you for your service. o7
Is neovim separate from vim development?
Yes it's a fork
Yeah I looked it up, there seemed to be some hubbub regarding their divergence. But I'm not invested enough to care much
It's a fork, and especially now that the original author of vin has sadly passed away. But I do remember hearing that changes are often ported and the teams work together in some situations.
Of course, lua things won't work in vim, but some basics can be shared
Neovim is a fork, but it also contributes a lot back to Vim. Patches that are compatible with both editors are generally first contributed to Vim, and then merged into Neovim.
You are an awesome user! Nice job!
I probably shouldn't post this in a neovim sub, but the zed editor with vim mode is really, really nice.
It's extreamly fast and has lots of lsps just working out of the box. However, you don't have very good plugin support yet, but it's coming. There are mostly themes and lsps as plugins right now.
Most neovim users love their plugins though, and you won't get that with zed, yet.
I really like it but I'm really missing the git plug-in features I use in vs code. Other than that I'd probably fully switch
Many years ago the Unicode Consortium has a fundraiser where you sponsored and emoji. Someone at my company sponsored one and posted to the internal mailing list. Short story short a couple dozen of us sponsored stuff and the company paid us back and wrote a cute blog post. Cheap marketing. Felt good.
Impressive persuasion! I can't imagine that ever working at any company I've worked at.
What company is this, if i may ask?
It's a Swedish software consultancy firm
