I was a hardcore emacs user for 9 or so years, then moved on to Jetbrains’ editors, even paying for them, now I’m trying to move into neovim and loving it (only for non-work stuff for now).
Jetbrains editors have been great for me, stable and feature rich, specially in terms of debugging. The only problem I have is that they are quite the consumers of resources and power.
I used vscode for a while and what I found is that even though it consumes fewer resources than Jetbrains it also has way fewer features and fails more often. You can’t do much customization or error handling besides setting some obscure json variable and good luck.
Now with neovim (and emacs) you can customize it endlessly (which is something I want) and have almost no resources used. The “drawback” is that you need more plugins working in conjunction to get the same features you’d get in the previous editors. Now, beware that things will fail sometimes for sure but you’re in a position that can fully try to fix them, but will take time.
