Hey everyone!

I was just wondering why one would use any of the programs I mentioned above instead of VS Code to write Code.

Can someone give me a brief overview of the advantages?

Thanks in advance!

      In my neovim setup I have basically the same functionality as vscode. with the added benefit of not having to reach for my mouse to navigate the cursor to a certain location. Vim has a steep learning curve, but all the hotkeys let you navigate way more quickly than you could with a mouse (or with arrow keys)

      Edit: By “same functionality as vscode” I mean file tree, quickly finding files by searching, fuzzy finding terms in the project, syntax highlighting, linting, intelli sense, and all the qol features the modern developer wants like auto-closing brackets etc. Really the main reason I use vim is just the hotkeys. I’ve gotten used to them and wouldn’t wanna go back to using my mouse that much. And ofc vim is a lot more lightweight than vscode
