I don’t know. I switch back from neovim to vim for some reason, but that vim setup has followed me for years even when I switched to emacs. And while I changed my emacs settings every once in a while, it has always been stable to me.

I’m not questioning your choice, and I do use IDE when the needs arise. But my emacs setup is mostly about dealing with every language and most tech interactions that I need. Not to be a full featured IDE for a language or a project.

I’m sure there‘a some minimum setup that would meet my needs and do ok— I just don’t really see a need to. The only time I get annoyed is when I need some of the deeper-cut ex commands and they’re not supported.
