    Whewf I’m boutta out myself or something, but …

    after 15 years of vim, writing (and contributing to) a host of plugins, even running custom builds with my own patches …

    I basically never boot up Actual Vim anymore?? I’ve basically entirely switched to VScode + VSCodeVim. embarrassing as fuck, in some ways, but jesus christ it’s just too goddamn good.

    The neovim integration, even, was fantastic. (Although I don’t use it right now, for “VSCode Remote reasons,” lol.)

      I’m thinking of switching from VSC to VIM because VSC is too hungry for ressources.

      I avoid to open some monorepo projects because it takes too much time and I use the Github explorer to navigate in the project.

        What on earth size of monorepo is that!? iirc, we’ve got ~1Mloc of OCaml, probably another two or three times that in assorted generated code, specs, config, infra, and other languages; and my VScode-Remote definitely boots up as fast as the network connection can stand up.

        Definitely faster than I can think of the first thing I want to do … ¯_(ツ)_/¯

        That said, I should own up to having had an absurdly overcomplicated vim config, tons of plugins, a decade n change of customizations and patches and shit. Maybe I’ve just always had a high tolerance for a slow boot. hahaha
