And I can't really argue with you cause, I'll be honest with you, I'm an amateur programmer. I actually do use neovim though, I just said vim because it's just more recognizable. Like, that's just kinda the name of this general category of thing. Don't have enough experience to know the difference between the two though (except that vim doesn't clear itself from my terminal when I exit, that's annoying. Oh and the tutor. And the color. But I haven't experimented with any of those cool plug-ins yet...)

In neovim you can have a terminal inside a buffer. So you can have a terminal and your code open side by side like you would in a modern IDE, or emacs for that matter.

ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?? YOU CAN JUST HAVE A TERMINAL ATTACHED TO IT TO DO WHATEVER???? HOW did I not know about this sooner I spent literal hours researching how to best use neovim

That was literally my only problem with cli-based text editors and its just there????

I'm gonna be so fucking powerful now that i know this , thank you you beautiful lemmy user

Yeah pretty much. Wait until you hear about termux, screen, or byobu.

See you around.
