How are you a heavy vim user if you wonder if vim makes sense with ai? There are so many things to do outside of writing code that vim is used for.

Also neovim + claude code + open terminal pane in tmux is the goated combo anyway. Especially more lately you need to understand the code you are writing if you want to do anything important in software, and the best way to do that is neovim :)

> neovim + claude + tmux is the goated combo

It absolutely is. I don't really understand why people still confine themselves to a full IDE when doing "agentic programming".

Especially with neovim with something like fzf or ctrl-p, which lets just quickly navigate codebases. This is about as far as you need to go. So to me, being terminal-first and being able to do multiple things at once makes more sense (hence tmux).

What exactly can you do with neovim tha I cannot do with vim? :-)

neovim + claude code + open terminal is exactly my setup! But all the heavy lifting I used to do simply I’m not doing it anymore. I spend most of the time creating new worktrees and reviewing code, and I guess I’m just not interested about the implementation details that much (not that I don’t look at the code, but minor styling things I just ignore them right now) I’m transitioning to this new way of work btw, so I still haven’t made up my mind. That’s why I asked for someone else opinion here :)

Why not opencode, that's one of the best claude code alternatives i have ever tried, but than of course it's your choice:
