CosmicNvim VS neovim

I'm considering picking up a pre-made configuration project as my Neovim daily driver, but boy, there sure are a lot of them. SpaceVim, CosmicNvim, AstroNvim, LunarVim, NvChad, and many more I'm sure.

CosmicNvim is build specifically for TypeScript and web development.

If you want an example using null-ls for formatting and linting, I also have a web development specific neovim config, https://github.com/CosmicNvim/CosmicNvim

I do web dev in nvim since 3 years. I rarely have any problems and never one I could not solve with some googling around/asking on discords for help. If you are like me and enjoy the keyboard-focused workflow of nvim but don't feel like nerding out with your own config, I very much recommend trying out one of the ready made distributions. Since half a year I use https://www.lunarvim.org/ and I am quite happy, but there are others as well, (https://github.com/CosmicNvim/CosmicNvim) comes to my mind.

I’ll definitely be adding your theme to CosmicNvim!

Congrats to you for Cosmics' v0.4.0 release!

As a software engineer, choosing and understanding your text editor is important part of your work, as it impacts your productivity and workflow efficiency. It's like choosing the perfect tool for any trade - you need to know what tool to use and how to use it effectively if you want to excel. For me, I use Neovim as my editor and I have been using it for a little over a year now.

This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

Neovim: Make sure you have Neovim installed on your system. You can check the official website for installation instructions: https://neovim.io/ Git: We'll be using Git to clone the LazyVim starter pack. If you don't have Git, you can download it from https://git-scm.com/downloads

There are several ways to install Neovim. This wiki provides several guidelines on how to install Neovim.

All these thoughts I've shared, I would have them on occasion - but ever since I switched to Linux and Neovim, my curiosity has been through the roof. Switching over to Neovim and Linux was a not so fun weekend of configuration and spending half a day getting my work's local dev environment running on my new OS (which no one has tested development on). But I now have a deeper understanding of the tools I use, and have a text editor configured to be the most optimal for the way I want to use it.
