  • interesting how things change. i started out downloading scripts from vim.org before the github days. finally after 10years I got fed up and looked for a plugin manager. moved to packer.

    a couple of years later, that went dead so I was forced to move again. now I’m on lazy.nvim which works well for me.

    nvim decided to ship a default plugin manager. im dreading the day I have to migrate to that… (not cause it’s better/worse, but cause migrating is a pain)


  • I’d swapped control and capslock almost immediately and still got emacs pinky. when I found vim, I decided I liked it more than the escape meta alt control shift madness, and quit. the vim script was better than elisp, but not great. neovim lua is better than vim script, but still a little lacking.

    i too have thousands of lines in my neovim config… but if I was starting today, the point and click editors are adequate enough that I might not invest the time.

    that said, I just added two plugins into my config today 🙃🙃


  • interesting how things turned out today. no one will spend time configuring an editor anymore, and just use a pre-configured, possibly web based, default.

    I started with ms dos edit/borland. moved to Linux and emacs/xemacs shortly after (this was when the two editors were split).

    got emacs pinky and moved to vim. stayed with vim for 15+ years. finally moved to neovim (because of the Firefox extension firenvim)
