It will take more than nostalgia and rust to tear me away from my neovim setup that has been built up/improved on over the years. Lsp, dap, autocompletion, aliases and bindings for each programming languages. Lazily loaded of course so it’s still snappy.

Manage configuration, and external dependencies such as lsps with nix.

Then have separate nix shells for each project to load tooling and other dependencies in an isolated/repeatable session. Add in direnv to make it more seamless development experience.

You are not the target audience. This is aimed at casual users and beginners, and it's already in a good shape to replace nano with its user-friendly, mouse-enabled TUI.

Huge +1, same for me, but with GNU Emacs instead of neovim but can completely appreciate the philosophy.

Sell me on Neovim.

It blipped on my radar recently when I did a sidequest into LuaJIT.

Also, just made a PR to add Nix flake support to Edit:
