    It’s not really an alternative yet, it’s in alpha versions…

    But I think it will be great in a year.

      I’m using Rider and considering to switch to something like Vim. Any recommendation for me on where to start?

        Start by running vim and typing :vimtutor. You might have to install the vimtutor package. Its a good way to learn. Once you’re through the vimtutor tutorial you should be good to go, you’ll get better over time. I second recommending neovim over original vim. The command is nvim to start once installed.

        I had multiple failed starts with (n)vim, always getting frustrated way before I had a usable setup, until I just used NvChad. It’s basically a preconfigured version, with all the plugins, keybinds,… you could probably want.

        It gave me something usable right out of the box. I continued tinkering with it for almost two years before moving on to my completely custom configuration.

        IMO the people that say you should start with bare (n)vim in order to learn everything from the ground up are delusional. There’s no reason you can’t learn all that stuff after you’ve actually experienced how nice the entire thing can be.

          I’ll be using it with c# and unity. I don’t care about debuggers, or starting the project from the IDE. I imagine there are plugins that hook it up to the c# language server?

          I’m planning to learn Rust, so I might also just get started with that plus nvChad. Then I keep using Rider for my daily work.

            Yeah, getting LSP + Linter + Formatter for basically any language set up is very straightforward with NvChad.

            Debuggers/testing framework can be a little more work, but if that’s not required for you, all the better :D

            I bet there’s also plugins available that help with integrating Unity and nvim (I know there are for Godot).

            Good luck, and have fun with this rabbithole 😄

              Why does this feel like you’ve just given me some free heroin to try?

              And unity doesn’t need integration. It automatically integrates itself into anything. It’ll just put a popup window right in the middle of the screen that you can’t get rid of without killing it. It’ll tell you something too private that you didn’t really want to know. Eventually, while coding, it will just bring itself entirely to the front. Alt tab won’t work.

      It’s really fast, has nice vim keybindings and has the potential to be a great open source VSCode alternative.

      I don’t use it yet since it doesn’t have a built in Python debugger but I’ve been watching it closely. I really want to switch to it someday soon

        VSCode (or the base app used by it) is open source (see: VSCodium). It has a similar relationship to Chrome and its base Chromium, where assets and tweaks are added to brand the product. You may have been trying to say “a great open source, VSCode alternative” and I misunderstood. Just commenting to remove ambiguity.

    built from the ground up in Rust with a GPU-accelerated renderer

    I don’t want GPU-accelerated rendering, I want a renderer that has a solid 5 second lag, to make it look to anyone around like I type faster than 20 wpm.
