Every ~6 months I try to switch from vim to nvim, but somehow it never sticks. Not sure why but in my use cases it is slower than vim, the terminal is imo still worse than vim and it s harder to copy and paste to the terminal: in vim I yank and than C_W"0 (or whatever register I need) in nvim I didn't find a solution yet. Nvim always feels more clunky.

Neovim is great and is my daily driver for a couple of years now. I was really looking forward to 0.10 because the roadmap said "multicursor", and that's the only thing that sometimes make me open Sublime Text, but it seems like it was more complex to implement than originally estimated and so it was now pushed to 0.12 ( https://neovim.io/roadmap/ ).

What's the difference between multicursor and visual block? Genuinely curious, is it that things don't have to be vertically aligned? What's the ux expectation in a pure keyboard based workflow?

Am I the only one who doesn't like the new color scheme that much? It seems that it just plainly removes all the syntax highlighting more or less.

Functionally it's good - adapts to both light and dark background, adapts to both 256 and truecolor terminals. I think I miss some of the color even if bright color in light background themes is often detrimental. Only real dislike is the too gray tinted background. Should be more towards white for light background, to be more neutral.

When I first started to learn how to program I was following along a basic tutorial by Jeffrey Way and his first sentence was "We're going to use vim." That tutorial, whose topic I can't even remember now, set me on a path for my professional career. During 2012-2015 there seemed to be way more competition in the editor space before VS Code gobbled the community mindshare. I remember starting my first professional jo…

> because he used emacs and wanted to argue with someone about emacs in the office That's weird to me as in more than 20+ years I don't think I've ever been around people arguing that in real life. It's always been more of a meme to me than anything real.

It was always good natured and I enjoyed the comradery that came from it. He also taught me a lot about vim and command line tools in general.

you might want to try linking @variable to Identifier, i think the original author decided to keep @variable unhighlighted to keep the color diff between having `termguicolors` on/off to a minimum (Identifier assumes `termguicolors` is enabled, but for default colorscheme it's likely not always the case).

see https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/26334 and the comments in highlight_group.c

Noticed this also. Truly the only reason I still open up vscode. And repo find / replace. Otherwise Switched to nvim full time about 5 months ago, can do everything and more ha
