I moved from vim to VS code as I found the vim IDE experience slightly lacking. Recently I've found myself getting more and more fed up with how sluggish VS code feels.
With the push from a friend, I tried neovim with the requisite LS plugins and I'm never going back. It's lightning fast and has feature parity (at least the ones I use) with VS Code.
Its a bit of a bitch to setup, but there are preconfigured solutions out there (NVChad, LunarVim, AstroVim) if you want to skip all that bullshit and just get coding...
Seconded. Neovim with their built-in LSP is so good! Was a happy VSCode user for years but not very comfortable with how they’re starting to push more and more proprietary pieces, so started looking for alternatives. Neovim fits the bill perfectly.
Helix is another one to watch. Not quite at Neovim’s level and may need some reprogramming of the vim muscle memory but definitely promising!
NvChad is excellent. I recently finished converting my older .vimrc-based configuration to an entirely lua-based one on top of the base NvChad setup and it‘s just perfect.

Definitely recommend giving it a go!
