Neovim is a text editor that is a fork of vim. It has come a long way from its early days as a fork, and is now one of the best editors that natively supports key features such as:
- Tree-sitter integration
- LSP (Language Server Protocol) integration
- Sane scripting, plugins and extensions via the Lua programming language
- Great out-of-the-box configuration distros, such as LazyVim
Many of these features were key to my workflow when I used to use Emacs.
I now use Neovim as my daily driver for both work and play.
