That's so weird, I thought everyone had already heard about Helix. Why are people still using neovim?

[–] robinm@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago

I need to re-try it. I really like like lsp/dsp are first class cityzen, including the keybindings, and that there is better text objects than in vanilla neovim. Last time I tried it there was a few things that where not that easy to set-up (I forget what), but I should definitively take the time to learn it.

I just wish that neovim/kakoune/helix had a marketplace just like vscode. It make the discovery and installation so much easier when everyone use the same tools.

I love Helix but for some reason there is a heavy lack of code snippets and good autocompletion in C. Everything else is great tho
