Toot

I love #emacs, but occasionally my #doom setup crashes, affecting my productivity.

So I decided to check out #lazyvim / #neovim, although I'm facing difficulties getting neotest to work seamlessly with minitest, and the LSP functionality isn't quite up to par.

I also experimented with #vscode, with #neovim extension, but it also suffers from some instability.

Currently testing #zed, which is proving to be quite impressive, at least for now.

@MoskitoHero maybe try un-doom-ing as well?

@ctietze thought about it, but I fear I don't have the time to tweak a configuration.

And #elisp may be powerful, but it has such a bad UX... At least from my point of view.

@MoskitoHero yeah I totally get that it's a lot to ask to learn a Lisp and then the Emacs Lisp APIs in particular. Just thought you could rescue your existing configuration sans Doom to stay productive

@MoskitoHero maybe you could consider a vanilla emacs as a stand-by? after doing lots of config, i think ppl often start to realize how they could get something workable/ergonomic enough with very little custom stuff...

@MoskitoHero I used MacVim/vim for a long time. Love it.

At some point I tried VS Code but pretty quickly it broke down on me to the point it couldn't edit an open file and it also corrupted a file on disk. I don't know what it was and I don't care to find out. That should never happen to a tool I'm using every day.

For a while now I use #Zed as my main editor. It’s very solid as a basic editor (very fast, stable, looks nice, too). It has great LSP support. It's vim mode is decent. It's not ideal but rate of improvement is amazing. Recently it's got a pretty decent remote editing feature (you can edit files over ssh on remote boxes).

One thing that is lacking at the moment is plugin system. It's on the roadmap somewhere but probably not anytime soon. There's some extensibility through LSP and language packs but it's nowhere near as powerful as anything emacs/vim provide. I thought it would be dealbreaker for me (I used a tonne of extension in my vim config) but even as is it’s like 90% there for me.
