Vim is My Lightsaber

@KiberMath You can use https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap with Xdebug - I have some notes at https://www.oliverdavies.uk/blog/debugging-php-docker-xdebug-neovim-dap and https://www.oliverdavies.uk/archive/2023/04/10/how-i-use-neovim-for-writing-php about this.

I also mention tpope/vim-dadbod and https://github.com/kristijanhusak/vim-dadbod-ui which is what I use for connecting to and querying databases.

@fixie-rider22,

Use it or don't use it, Neovim isn't for everyone...

I use Neovim for my day job (everything for that matter) and I love it, but I have it configured the way I like it which is different from everyone else's config.

In order to make an editor that can do whatever you want it has to be configurable, which Neovim allows you to do in the form of Lua to write your configs/plugins (same difference) which is a much more pleasant experience than Vimscript. This is part of what makes Neovim a PDE as defined by a Neovim maintainer.

As for your configs being a 'maze' that's entirely up to you and how you develop/organize code, my Lua configs are clean and well organized (or so I think but that's all that matters because they're my configs :) ). I also prefer everything to be in Lua so I'm not mixing in Vimscript.

@cwhite This is an absolutely fair opinion. Everyone has to find his own best fitting tool, which will be different from person by person. Jess Archer did put a lot of effort into this video series and let there be no doubt, it is a good one. Thanks for telling Your opinion on the topic!

@fixie-rider22 If you're still interested, I'd recommend looking at https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim - it's a single file that configures a lot out of the box and, rather than being a distribution that you need to keep up-to-date with, it's a starting point for your own configuration that you can own by adding to and editing it as you need.
