It just feels right. It took me some time to get used to the vim motions. But man, does it make moving around any project so fast and natural. I went in for the customizability. And that's obviously there. But the sheer speed it gives me is uncanny. My past self with VS Code could never.

I'd also suggest taking some time to write your own config from scratch once you get the hang of it; it'll be worth it.

Neovim's amazing ngl. Replaced MS Code with it at work and I couldn't be happier.
