one way I might think of it is that 1% people are good at building developer tooling for themselves and others and I’m not. Like I have the technical skills to build this script but I never would have thought of it github.com/mjdominus/gi...

I’ve never understood how it’s possible to customize your dev environment to suit you in a really micro way
I’m not a good UX designer. If i’m trying to customize something in my editor it’s probably because another editor has an interaction pattern that I like that I’m trying to copy.

I’m not sure about the 1% thing. I’ve actually tried to switch away from vim to an IDE (atom, sublime, VS Code) many times, but it never stuck because I like how stable and fast vim is.
I do think that as I get older I have less and less patience for tinkering with configuration.

my issues with vim.lsp.config may have been related to refusing to have any Lua code in my neovim config, not sure. I still only use a .vimrc

i’ll try to come up with some notes! i did try vim.lsp.config unsuccessfully but I don’t remember what happened, I can try to dig it up.
I’ve kind of given up on trying out new vim plugins unless there’s an “obvious” contender that everyone agrees is the best so i didn’t try any search alternatives
