To Vim or Not to Vim? (Or, to Helix, or, maybe, just stick with vscode?)

Years ago, I used Vim daily. I could feel my fluency grow. I liked it.

But then the near necessity of having to use Xcode weaned me off of it.

Now that I also do Flutter dev (usually in vscode), I could go back. And I try sometimes.

Maybe I’m too impatient with it, but I want to get work done, not work on my editor. 🙃

Still, I think LSP has been a help with some of that, and I probably should give a “pre-packaged neovim” thing like LunarVim a fair shot. I’m also very intrigued by Helix – though I should not try both at once since switching back and forth between vim’s flavor of modal editing and Helix’s Kakoune-style flavor could get confusing. 🙂
