Everything just works out of the box. It’s a pretty massive difference from the world of Vim, where a significant investment to figure out how to customize your editor to your liking is required.
Ok, so the issue I have with this is that “customizing” is not the same as “making it work”. Very often I will have a working environment and I will still spend 30 minutes looking for a color theme that I like. Two completely different things. The benefit of investing significant amount of time to configure something is that while you’re figuring out how to make something work you’re also making it work exactly the way you like it.
That being said, neovim is really hard to configure correctly. I had some many weird issues with LSP recently that I’m definitely open to trying something new like Helix.
