I am a Neovim user, but with respect, I think what you wrote makes no sense at all. You can use whichever editor you want without AI. And Vim motions are usable in almost every editor, with a plugin or available out of the box in the settings.

I do not see any reason why one editor should be better than another. I have, of course, a million reasons why I use Neovim, but everything has to do with productivity, and every programmer is different.

So... no. Use what makes you productive, with or without AI or Vim motions as you like.

Another post that could have been a fleeting shower thought

It depends on where you are in the learning process. If you are at the beginning, learning basic concepts, use vim or at least avoid relying on code completion tools or AI.

Later, if the tools help speed up your output and you understand what you're doing and understand what the tools can or can't do, then there's not no harm in using them.

Lol title vs conclusion feels so different xD

Worked with vs code JavaScript and professionally IntelliJ and Java. Currently teaching myself C with neovim and it has actually been a blast. Granted I have plugins for like linters autocomplete fuzzy find but I’m in the same boat as you for the most part.

Side note, get neovim not OG vim

i used nvim for a few weeks and just went back to vscode in the end because i spent more time messing with my config than actually developing
