Been using vim for about 4 years. What would I gain if I switched to neovim?

  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • nvim-cmp

    A completion plugin for neovim coded in Lua.

  • https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp, at least I can't find info on how to configure it without using lua. I have a feeling most plugins written in lua are like that.

  • cp.vim

  • back in 2021 I tried to write a plugin in vim and I need http server(vim readme use python for this), regrex stuff so ended up writing in python. I also needed a clickable tabline so I ended up switching to neovim in the end. I tried to add everything was so complex (For me) that I am glad nvim 0.5 adopt lua so I can actually finish the new plugin

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • coc.nvim

    Nodejs extension host for vim & neovim, load extensions like VSCode and host language servers.

  • coc-vim stands out as one of the reasons why.

  • vimfiles

  • Sure https://gitlab.com/egzvor/vimfiles. I just committed a bunch of changes with the most granular commits.

  • nvim-dap

    Debug Adapter Protocol client implementation for Neovim

  • [nvim dap](https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap) is a great tool for embedded debugging. Utilizes the same back-end as VSCode for debugging.

  • nvim-lint

    An asynchronous linter plugin for Neovim complementary to the built-in Language Server Protocol support.

  • Actually neovim has smth comparable to ale, it is https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-lint. And it leverages lsp diagnostic support in neovim, without being LSP server.
