Congrats to the Neovim team! I know one complaint that people tend to have with nvim is that they can never get to a stable config that they don't need to keep tweaking; I used to be one of those users that kept making changes to their config but I've had a stable config for roughly 6 or so months now and I've been loving neovim and the fact that it's personalised exactly to my liking. So what I'm trying to say is that there's hope for those who are still in the depths of the configuration rabbit hole :)

I began utilizing Vim approximately three decades ago, and experiencing a contemporary tool like Neovim still feels incredibly astounding.

Any chance your config is public? I always find cool new stuff when I look at other people’s nvim configs

You can check out these public configs:

- https://github.com/NvChad/NvChad

- https://github.com/LunarVim/LunarVim

- https://github.com/AstroNvim/AstroNvim

All of them have a Docker command where you can try them out in a container.

awesome-neovim has more configs:

I just realised that I'm using Neovim despite there are no nvim-specific plugins in my config (CoC covers most of my needs), and I don't use lua.

Still is feels like Neovim is more stable and faster than the regular Vim somehow. Plus it has much better defaults.

For people who have used helix and neovim recently, how do they compare?

Stating the obvious - the edit modes are fundamentally different and helix doesn't have a plugin ecosystem yet.

Helix uses the kakoune model:

vi basic grammar is verb followed by object; it’s nice because it matches well with the order we use in English, "delete word". On the other hand, it does not match well with the nature of what we express: There is only a handful of verbs in text editing (delete, yank, paste, insert… ), and they don’t compose, contrarily to objects which can be arbitrarily complex, and difficult to express. That means that errors are not handled well. If you express your object wrongly with a delete verb, the wrong text will get deleted, you will need to undo, and try again.

Kakoune’s grammar is object followed by verb, combined with instantaneous feedback, that means you always see the current object (In Kakoune we call that the selection) before you apply your change, which allows you to correct errors on the go.
