It's an absolute Jow Forums tier meme. Just get vscode and call it a day.
Joseph Kelly
Just use Sublime.
David Rivera
Now that vim has true async there's no reason to use it.
Eli Jenkins
I still want proper copypaste
Gavin Evans
Red pill you on vim or nvim? They are distinct but pretty similar. n(eo)vim is worth checking out if you just made a typo.
I use vim when I work on servers or need to make a quick edit/note.
Tyler Lee
Just my 2 cents. Its worth it only to use its basic functionality as a plugin in other editors. Its fast and expressive and gives you a common ground in all other editors eg VSC. Setup is usually a one time thing if you want to do it but still not worth it.
Benjamin Lewis
>Redpill me on nvim. If modal editing was my favorite flavor of mental illness I would pick it if Kakoune wasn't a thing. >I want to like it, im a huge fan of the build-your-own-ide principle, but it just seams to have too many problems to be viable. If that was more of your flavor, why wouldn't you use something bloated aka maximal customizable like emacs, the eclipse framework or vscode/atom to begin with? >Do people actually use vim for things other than server configs or did I fall for a 30 year old meme? Why "or"?
Lincoln Reyes
Keyboard driven editor are a meme, and not a good one. If you want to build your own environment just use Acme and call it a day, though Sam is superior
Jason Gray
Can anyone recommend an autocompletion plugin less bloated than YouCompleteMe?
Connor White
Why use this if notepad++ exist? Seriously you have to have a broken piece of shit to be forced to use it
Colton Taylor
It's a meme. Just use an IDE (vscode with lots of plugins in my case) with a vim and easymotion plugin and you'll have the best of both worlds, 99% of the vim functionality you'll need plus the features a modern IDE provides.
Jackson Price
> build-your-own-ide You'd probably be better off with emacs. If you want vim text editing, use evil-mode. Vim is really not an extensible program. Emacs is renowned for its extensibility. Hooks are grea.
Kevin Scott
Why would I want to use notepad++ though
Wyatt Edwards
Personally I only use the mouse to typr
Aiden Murphy
Recently been fiddling around with tabnine, which does make use as ycm but is extremely fast. It uses ML for autocomplete, is language-agnostic and more context-aware than any other autocomplete I tried. I haven't used it a lot, but was surprised at what sort of "smart" suggestions it sometimes gives. Sadly it's proprietary though.
Levi Bennett
You can edit remote files with a non shit interface
Sebastian Perez
If you want your text editor to be an ide, use emacs.
Vim is a text editor, your terminal is your ide. >debugging and breakpoints Use gdb for this
>no decent Gui version Why do you need a Gui for a text editor? It displays text?!?
>code completion Use ctags and the completion plugin of your choice. >git Literally just use git >refactoring, autoformat, workspace searching plugins ??????????? >terminal editor doesnt work properly on true terminal (broken highlighting, output of other programs gets displayed) ?????????? >deleting and cutting not seperate This is a feature. You can use registers 0-9 to retrieve things cut/deleted in the past.
Jayden Cox
Oh I missed switching files. There is literally nothing wrong with using e. Control q is a really good plugin for this as well
Logan Adams
Vi is shit
Jason Brown
Or I can just open a file in my better editor Again if I'm not running a 50$ shit book why do I need this?
Chase Brown
I mean that's fine. I'm just telling you what I personally like.
I don't like traditional ides because things tend to 'go wrong' for seemingly no reason due to some bloated 'feature'. I might not have automatic refactoring but things work exactly the way I like them to, and if something goes wrong it's pretty easy to see where to look and how to start fixing it. it's pretty comfy.
Connor Anderson
It's simple if you live in the terminal most of the time like me Vim+tmux is superior faster and more efficient when it coming to pure typing and working with text files.
IF you don't don't live in the terminal or you use windows and use the mouse constantly stick to an IDE it's more your speed
>your terminal is your ide Did you know that the I in IDE stands for "integrated"? Copy pasting paths into the terminal is kind of shit integration.
Alexander Morgan
>copy pasting paths into the terminal I have literally never done this, but ok
Jason Garcia
Vim allows you to drop to shell at any time meaning you don't have to copy anything.
>no native debugging or breakpoints Add your own debugger >paralell building a pain to set up and use Paralell as in background or what? >file switching There are plugins that handle this well >code completion Depends on your language. It does the job well enough though I agree that IDEs are somewhat better for this >gui Gvim. idk about neovim though. >git There's a plugin >refactoring, autoformat, workspace searching plugins are terrible or nonexistent This is simply not true. >no plugin managing Also not true >doesn't work on true terminal Set your variables correctly, it works fine >deleting and cutting not seperate Not an issue. Learn to use the registers.
Sounds to me like you simply came to complain about your own inability to do research. If you want to do basic dev get an IDE. For me as a system administrator who does programming on a side vim is perfect because it's cross platform and runs on everything - GUI and terminals (it's especially great when combined with tmux)

Ryder Lewis
I use vim for programming, but I obviously wouldn't use it for Java or C#.
Julian Hughes
>oy vey goy! donate your money so these niggers can breed even more and move to yourope to rape you in person I'm never using vim just for this alone. Fuck Uganda and fuck niggers.
