Why I Switched From Neovim to VSCode

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • unocss

    The instant on-demand atomic CSS engine.

  • Some exceptional libraries and frameworks only support VSCode, which you could argue is a bad thing, but it makes sense, VSCode is the most popular code editor after all. For example UnoCSS only has a VSCode extension, and it's my favourite way to write CSS. Astro has a LSP but I've found that the experience in VSCode is much better than in Neovim.

  • lazy.nvim

    💤 A modern plugin manager for Neovim

  • Oh and now there's this new plugin manager that everyone is using called lazy.nvim which is probably awesome but now I need to spend time migrating and getting used to it. It's kind of like the JavaScript ecosystem, there's always something new and shiny and you feel like you're missing out if you don't use it. It's tiring to keep up with it.

  • SurveyJS
