Looking for input regarding finding an IDE (spoilers: involves Emacs and Vim)
  • I've been using code editors for over 40 years. I've gone back and forth between Emacs and NeoVim/Vim. The last five years has been extensively Neovim since it is faster than Emacs. On Emacs, I've loved DoomEmacs. It's the fastest on Emacs. I prefer NeoVim over Vim because it is faster (especially when using plugins with Lua or Python). In NeoVim, I've used all the mentioned setups and have settled on LazyVim due to it's starting speed and ease of changing configurations around. LazyVim also requires the latest NeoVim, but it is worth upgrading to it. I use bob to manage my NeoVim versions and mostly I use the nightly version without any hiccups.

  • Complex text layout (CTL)/complex script support in Neovim
  • VimR (https://github.com/qvacua/vimr) handles Thai okay. Not sure about Burmese. It has to the lastest version also that attaches to the latest neovim build as well. The lastest version also works fine with LazyVim framework (the older version didn't since it was base on a vim library and not neovim.

  • LazyVim: blazingly fast, sane defaults, easy to customize and extend
  • For me, LazyVim has been the easiest to config my own way of all the configuration setups. I've used many of the other ones, and they all felt so hard to make a change with them. LazyVim just works and is easy to add to and change things around.
