> Give Neovim 0.5 a try, you will find that it is not difficult to make it as powerful as VSCode

Does Neovim support webviews in extensions? Can it?

There are a lot of useful visualization tools that VS Code allows that require them. It's one of the most powerful features of the editor, imo.

OTOH, Neovim can work in a remote SSH session, fully featured within a terminal.

(Yes, I know people don't do a lot of SSH-ing and coding these days)

+1 to this. Having nvim as my daily driver allowed me to NOT upgrade my 4 year old macbook with the next top-of-the-line macbook, saving me an arm and a leg. Instead I just got a gaming PC with way higher specs for less than half the price and I just ssh into it now.

It's also neat to be able to code from an iPad by SSH'ing with Termius :)

It also allows you to go the other direction, and purchase a $200, nearly ten year old thinkpad, since it meets all your requirements for being productive.

You can do this in vscode too.
