Neovim is driving me crazy but I can't stop — gyydin

For all of you, who want to start neovim, or just started (nyself included) than kickstart.nvim is a great start: https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim
- And use vimtutor
  
  I tend to recommend people use the vim plugin for whatever editor or IDE they currently use, with a key combo to enable and disable it. That way there are no big surprises and it still works the way you're used to - Just with different keyboard controls. And if there's something you can't figure out an easy way to do with vim, write down a note somewhere of that thing to research how to do that later.
Helix editor was my gateway drug to neovim. May be helpful to others as well
- Funny, I switched from neovim (after a decade of use) to helix...
  
  What made you make the switch?
Started learning vim and used neovim since pre-lsp era (i think before 0.5). Drew's books are eyes opening and I never had to struggle like the writer.

Then neovim with lua support came out. I dragged my feets to migrate my nvim.init to init.lua.

Tried a few time but never completed the migration. I completed the migration using the LazyVim (like the community aspect of astrovim).
Neovim is pretty fucking amazing
- Sure is!
