Compared to JetBrains, no thanks.

I can't even get Neovim to run stably without throwing random errors every now and then, especially after I update plugins.

I do love JetBrains products. But they were too memory-hungry for me. I stepped away from GoLand and into Neovim and it’s been by far the best experience the past year and a half. So far, there is not a single feature I miss or haven’t been able to duplicate.

Regarding stability - pinning plug-in versions could be helpful. That’s what I’ve done and I’ve never had an issue with stability.

Agreed - neovim is plenty stable for me. The built in package management and git submodules in my dotfiles works really well and is dead simple.

I have both PHPStorm and Pycharm running, each takes up 4+GB memory on a 8G M1. Slowly growing memory usage for WindowServer process makes matter worse.

For the last week, I have been playing with Neovim in spare time using a setup based on https://github.com/LunarVim/nvim-basic-ide It does pinning plug-in too.

It's working well for small projects so far.
