> eventually be more usable

it's one thing to have preference and sense of aesthetic, it's another thing to claim that said things are universally more usable. If not for components that were invented in VSCode (LSP) then no one would be using vim these days. There are plenty of hills to die on that's much more noble than "I like this editor"

I hate to tell you but, Vim has always had a pretty strong user base. There are folks like me that used it before LSP, and never had interest in leaving. Now your statement might be more accurate if you said, "If it were not for LSP, no one would be leaving VSCode for NeoVim."

I agree. Use whatever you want. But don't make misinformed statements about WHY folks choose something other than your choice.


I am not going to use a text editor that requires me to login.


There is no requirement to login. Perhaps you’re thinking of JetBrains products.


It is literally a requirement to login if you want to use the features they provide on top of VSCode.


your loss


I'm not saying that they shouldn't be getting funding. I'm just saying that 60 million is an absurd amount compared to what this neovim plugin will get.
