How do you all install neovim on Linux? The .deb is gone with this release, which I think was the most orderly way to fit into my install. I think I'll want to find a PPA solution now. I am not a fan of installs that are not reversible.
I spent a good amount of time learning vim/neovim and installed tons of plugins, but in the end I didn't see the point. Language support is still nowhere near VSCode, let alone Jetbrains products. I do all my development on a macbook so ultra low memory or being installed by default is not a requirement. People praise vim/neovim for being small but to get any decent functionality you will end up with tons of plugins.…
You'd want their framework to end up in a very popular IDE for example, and that's just not happening.
All major IDEs will want full control over their editing component.
Because of that they won't implement "IDE-like" features such as a file explorer (I know there are plugins out there, plugin based systems are always slower and more brittle, both in the present and for updates), moving the command bar to the top, having powerful built-in fuzzy file finding, etc.
Perfect is the enemy of good, since perfect might never come and we could instead have good now or at least soon.

I like Neovim but I'm not sure their embedded vision is taking off. You'd want their framework to end up in a very popular IDE for example, and that's just not happening.

It’s partly the type of coding I do, but I’m always contributing on the DevOps side too - Dockerfiles, .env files and the like. Being close to the terminal and within a Tmux session is perfect for that type of work.

and vscode/jetbrains vim mode is nowhere near what neovim can provide. so between using a bad version of vim with features, i prefer a bit less features with more... you know, vim :)

You should get a better package manager/distro. With emerge or pacman, it's easy to find/write your own ebuild/pkgbuild, way better than adding ppas.
Not sure if adding ppas is the problem, i think that's ok, but making packages when none exist is more of a hassle.
