I'm using VIM - Vi IMproved 9.1. What am I missing? I'm kind of desperate to switch. Getting massive FOMO from colleagues using VS Code. But I really like using the keyboard to navigate. What should I do? Does NeoVim support Claude Code?

If it's just using the keyboard that's holding you back from VSCode, you'll be pleased to know it has plenty of its own shortcuts, as well as a "VIM navigation" mode you can turn on.

What do you use?

Have a look here. This is incredible guide to the `vim.pack`.

What are you getting FOMO over? Been using Neovim since it forked from Vim and I'm very happy with it.

Lua has been a big boon to advanced configuration and the plugin ecosystem and Neovim supports everything I'd want and more. LSP and treesitter for instance are still better handled by Neovim.

If you dislike Lua (I'm not a fan) I recommend Fennel, but either way it's much better than Vimscript.

As for Claude there are at least two Neovim plugins for it. I use one of them and it works well but I can't remember which.

What's the FOMO caused by? Asking as a vim user starting to get FOMOOFOMO.

I motivated my Cursor-colleagues to switch to tmux+nvim -- they don't use it all the time, but they enjoy the vibe. Claude is running on some tmux pans. Much nicer than VSCode!

Always interesting when a project stays 0 ver for so long- anyone close to the project know what would be considered significant enough for a "v1" release?

Maybe when `:!` works the way vi does and POSIX says it must. Just kidding, that will never happen.

What are referring to, out of interest? Does this apply just to nvim, or vim as well?

I've been using VIM/NVIM on and off for a while and the one thing that made it stick for me over VSCode was LazyVim [1]. If you're missing out on something IDE like VSCode, but you love vim it's a great way to go (it can take some getting used to so hang in there). EDIT LazyVim is based off nvim by the way. If your more into videos to learn about something this is a good intro to it from Elijah Manor [2]. I have my dotfiles stored on github that I use on my different machines, and use gnu `stow` and `make` to build them and that gives me my specific lazyvim setup free and quickly after just downloading a few dependencies.
