Yup, Neovim has become very interesting again due to LSP. Still requires quite a bit of config though.

For anyone interested there's also vscode-neovim [1] if you like what VSCode comes with out of the box but want a full-on nvim instance interpreting your keystrokes.

I'm currently using a combination of terminal nvim and this vscode plugin depending on language.

VSCode Neovim looks extremely interesting, does it work well? Is it easy to set up?

Works reasonably well. Multi-cursor/renaming is not as good as VSCodeVim. On the plus side, you have the full set of vim commands available to you such as`:norm`.

I've never used multi-cursors, so I don't think I'll miss them. On the other hand, whenever I want to type Vim commands and the editor doesn't want to, it always jars me.

I will give this a shot, thanks!
