From JetBrains to VSCode to NVIM: Why I Made the Switch
Out of the box it offers almost nothing, but after 7 years of development I like that. I love the idea of customizing to my needs my IDE, so with the help of kickstart.nvim I have with 1 minute of installing and 10 extra minutes of configuration a complete IDE.

Using a venv with Neovim's Python LSP
I recently started coding with Neovim using kickstart.nvim as the template for my editor configuration. I downloaded the python-lsp-server package using Mason, but I was disappointed to discover that the IntelliSense on my third party dependencies didn't work. The LSP was resolving to my global Python installation, which did not have the packages from my virtual environment (venv) installed.

I Learned Neovim In A Weekend
First thing I did was get kickstart.nvim. I had heard it was extremely useful (and it was). It was very easy to install. I start reading through init.lua, and it told me to run :Tutor, which is almost 1,000 lines of learning how to use Neovim, to which I obviously ran that command and started reading. Obviously, it takes a bit of time to complete :Tutor, but it's well worth it. "hjkl" wasn't too hard to get used to, also repeating motions by using numbers was useful, such as using '5dd' to delete 5 lines. I highly suggest reading this file, especially since I didn't really know about the different modes, which is probably why I failed to switch the other times. You would start writing your code, then Neovim would say that it can't find that command, you would accidently type an i and then start typing, and so on, it was a nightmare. For those that don't know the modes, here is each mode and how to get between them.

Neovide – a simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform GUI for Neovim
I also suggest against using distributions. Instead of learning how to configure nvim itself you're learning to configure that specific distro.
I suggest to take someone's lua config and start from there. Kickstart.nvim is a good one: https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim

Do I need NeoVIM?
1) the option I wouldn’t chose, use Kickstarter. It’s a minimal starter config, using a single init.lua that helps you build a config slowly. https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim

ready to use neovim for web development (frontend) - beginners
I highly recommend Lazyvim for if you want to have a VSCode (ish) like experience that still exposes you to configuring in Lua. Or Kickstart.nvim if you want a more "from scratch" experience

Search commands slow in neovim but fast in vim
In case it is helpful, I am using kickstart.nvim with only minor modifications.

Kickstart.emacs Starter kit for Gnu Emacs
One of the project goals is to become something like kickstart.nvim. Or, to be a reference if someone doesn't know how to do something.

Multi-cursor code editing: An animated introduction
Nice post. Obligatory Helix plug: For anyone interested in taking this further, there are whole editors designed around multi-cursor editing.

:syntax off (2016)
I could never turn it off completely but I do sometimes use the Acme theme during the day (it's too bright in the evening), which highlights just comments, strings, and errors.

You can use a snippet LSP to work around Helix not having a built-in LSP manager. They're listed in https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/395

Memray – A Memory Profiler for Python
I'm probably not the average python programmer.
But I normally just create two terminals (I have a tiling window manager) and in one I open a python file under /tmp/ write my code and execute it in the other terminal.
I would probably use a REPL if it was integrated in my favorite editor ( https://helix-editor.com ).

Neovide – a simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform GUI for Neovim
Wow, that's been there a while: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/commit/35c974c9c49f912...
Wonder how I missed that. I'm getting a re-education in helix today -- thank you! I'll go through `hx --tutor` again before I insert any more feet in my mouth.

Zed is now open source
Interesting to see how they are gonna approach integrating plugins/extensions system, because this is likely gonna be one of the major factors affecting adoption and ecosystem growth.
Helix devs, for instance, lean towards a Scheme-like implementation. [1]
