I used to love using JB products, especially for refactoring massive Java projects. But over the years, the IDEs have become more and more bloated. Even without adding any plugins, the IDE is very clunky.

Have switched back to using neovim (my go-to during college with a crappy MacBook, lol) and set it up with nvchad to lazy load the LSP plugins.

Haven’t looked back.

Did it take months (gradually improving and re-learning) to get to this point? Yes, it did. But in the long run, I learned to be more efficient in my writing and removed a yearly subscription as well.

Same path for me. Sick of things changing and breaking underneath me. Neovim is a labour of love for a while but once you have your config dialled in and some muscle memory, it’s very performant.

I really like Neovide as a gui. Brings the whole experience together.
