Is anyone using them vim with Claude or any of these coding tools? I want to, but I haven’t found a good workflow.
Either opencode, claude, gemini, copilot, basically most that are relevant :D
Its a pretty light connection-layer, so it helps with sending context.
Up next for 0.13: multiple cursors! I have no idea what I'd do with this feature but it sounds intriguing. https://neovim.io/roadmap/
It probably goes against Vim tradition, culture and freedom to choose, but I wish they added even more built-in features (like Helix) that are currently implemented in competing and sometimes brittle plugins and have to be put together into also competing vim starter packs and distros of plugins and config files just to have a modern setup out of the box.
Almost all such complaints are close to “I want to be cool and be seen as an haxor, but all I know is a bit of VSCode and IDEA, make it easier for me, plz”.

Sidekick.nvim is nice, you get a "real" terminal window on the side with many different agents to choose from. Either opencode, claude, gemini, copilot, basically most that are relevant :D Its a pretty light connection-layer, so it helps with sending context.

Multi cursor support in VSCode replaced 98% of my need for macros. Yes, macros are more powerful, but they are pretty easy to get wrong. With multiple cursors, it's far easier to spot where your inputs don't work out and adjust accordingly. Multi cursor is the feature that increased my productivity the most across the board.
Especially as code is formal notation, such that it’s structured quite rigidly, macros composition can be seen as a meta language. Multi cursors is more suited for the “work hard, not smart”, like preferring litteral search instead of learning regex.

Define “modern”! Almost all such complaints are close to “I want to be cool and be seen as an haxor, but all I know is a bit of VSCode and IDEA, make it easier for me, plz”.
However, Neovim explicitely states that they don't want to turn VIM into an IDE. The feature parent is talking about seem to be falling into that type of vertical integration instead of composability.
