I tried switching 2 different times now from neovim (with Lazyvim), and I can't break the muscle memory. Neovim has become an IDE in the terminal for me, and it does more than I need it to

    As with anything, breaking muscle memory takes a lot of will power, as well as time. 😅

    Take it from someone who went from regular QWERTY row-staggered keyboards to a split column-staggered keyboard with Colemak-DH. Went from 117 words per minute, to 20. It was brutal. Took me a few minutes to reply with simple sentences at work. Still not up to full speed a year later. But the ergonomics are worth it.

    Same with Helix IMO. It includes the kitchen sink, and the Selection Editing paradigm makes so much more sense to me compared to macros in *vim. Because it clicked immediately with me, it didn't take long to get used to it. Been using it professionally and at home for about 2 years.
