Been using this for a long time now. I like my config to be minimal and this release doesn't require much to do anything. I haven't had a package manger, nvim-lspconfig and for a while I had no nvim-treesitter but that was more trouble than it was worth at the time. So my config is more like what you'd find in an IDE, setting up bindings and language support.

Have ya given kickstart.nvim a check?

[-] robbo@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

why?

[-] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

I know some of these words!

[-] robbo@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

0.12 is probably close to the emacs experience, been a while since I used it. It's all about being good out of the box.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

Does it come with a good text editor?

[-] robbo@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

don't know that's claudes job now apparently

[-] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

Touche

Little off topic, but why is Neovim at version 0.x and not version 1.x?

[-] sip@programming.dev 17 points 2 weeks ago

there's a roadmap to v1.

[-] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks for the hint. I was not aware of this before. Looking at https://neovim.io/roadmap/ and Prepare for version 1.0 #20451. Alright then it makes sense, as they are working towards specific goals to reach that state. Nice.

I tried neovim on windows. It is not quite the same experience. Especially neotree is very buggy

[-] spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I want to use it on my work PC (Windows) but its so slow its basically unusable. So I use VS with a Vim plugin.

[-] NominatedNemesis@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

I experienced the same bug in winslop: It is not the neovim fault, but the terminal emulator. While WT (default for 11) is good enough, for some computers it is pretty laggy. I recommend wezterm.

Source: I manage many onprem windows PCs with automation, and some 1 of them experienced this issue.

[-] spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Whoa you weren't kidding! It still chugs in our large project, and I have some Windows issues in my config to fix, but nvim itself runs well for me now!

[-] NominatedNemesis@reddthat.com 1 points 1 week ago

I am happy that I've been useful ๐Ÿ˜„ The experience on windows will always be worse than on linux sadly. But I have no choice, I have to use winslop for work, so I made it work. ๐Ÿ˜…

[-] spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I may try this. Thank you for the tip!

[-] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

To what do you compare? The experience Windows vs Linux?

[-] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, Neovim on Windos vs. Neovim on Linux
