Update: Transition to Neovim

Back in March I wrote about my transition to vim as my main IDE.

I am still very happy with vim but I had to live with numerous issues: Non-responding UI or sometimes vim just froze comletely. After some research I found a very interesting article about “Why Neovim is Better than Vim” (by Geoff Grreer). That was when I decided it would be time to switch over to neovim.

My observations about the differences between vim and neovim: Neovim feels much more responsive and faster. There are many more differences but speed was the most noticable.

My new neovim config now has in it’s own repository: https://github.com/peterhass/init.vim/blob/master/init.vim
