vim is amazing 💬

I love vim. It is light weight and available on just about every server I encounter bare metal 🤘🏽 or cloud ⛅️.The problem comes in when I'm constantly switching python 🐍 versions all day long to develop different apps and neovim breaks depending on what venv I'm in :(.

I've definitely seen developers figure this out and use neovim or vim with with great ease. I'm jealous of them, but I'm not one of them 😱.

Zed 🦀

Zed has a vim mode and it's amazing. I can use the same keybindings I'm used to and I can use the same editor for all my work, regardless of venv or programming language.

Built on rust it is still quite light weight and I find it fast 🏎️ and fun 🕹️ to work with .

Conclusion 🎉

Give Zed a try if you're a vim user you'll probably find yourself right at home with the keybindings and not need to worry about python versions and venvs (you still have to worry about venvs for your python development, but it won't break your editor).

For me it is the sweet spot between lightweight, speed, and functionality. Some of the other IDEs are just too heavy for me to use on a daily basis 🥌.
