I prefer NeoVim

This is mainly a reply to a post from @hyde@lazybear.social:

Is VSCode over or underrated? (www)

I tried VSCodium a long time ago, but I preferred Vim/NeoVim.

I've never tried VSCode or VSCodium myself, but I've played around extensively with Emacs for some time. And Emacs can really be fun to configure and use: OrgMode, Org-Roam, Elpher, mu4e and all the other plugins. But I always had problems (sometimes strange ones) with Emacs. And for me as a long time Vim/NeoVim user, Emacs just seems to cumbersome and a little odd, so I always went back to Vim. And as a commandline enthusiast I don't like my editor being a Wayland/X application. I don't want to run my terminal *in* my editor, I want my terminal applications work seamlessly with my terminal editor (eg. tut for mastodon or NeoMutt for email).

So all thumbs up for Vim/NeoVim.

All in all - Have fun!
