Don’t get me wrong, I loved neovim and other tools but tbh I just nano for simple edits now. AI tab complete is just too good. Basically it’s barebones or VSCode (or its variants). I could probably use vanilla neovim instead of nano but I've not used vim all that much recently to be in that "flow".

This is like saying: I can write Swift code using Vim instead of Xcode. Yeah, you can, but that doesn’t mean you should.

Note: I use nano/vim daily to read and edit files on my servers. Just not to build complex apps.

    Your point is good, I don't mean to undermine it, but because I work in this area I feel compelled to point out that depending on the type of Swift you're writing using NeoVim to write Swift is actually quite pleasant: https://www.swift.org/documentation/articles/zero-to-swift-n...

      I'm hoping one day to move from a GUI to a VUI (Voice User Interface), though I still have a soft spot for TUIs. Thanks for the link :)
