Thanks a lot for the suggestions, I will try them out.

uveeon So Long, Macbook. Hello Again, Linux

I've been running Linux (Ubuntu 18.04 with Gnome) on my Dell XPS 13 for a while now and its been working quite well. My biggest concern was mobility, like attaching it to different DPI monitors and have things work well still. With Gnome as my shell, it has been keeping up quite well with the expectations (except some programs not picking up changes right, e.g. IntelliJ).

I had moved off of OSX after the new gen of MacBookPros were unusable for me. I was using Windows + WSL for a while but eventually decided to give Linux a try. Things have been quite smooth really. Since most of my dev is around docker etc. it feels like home (not that OSX Docker experience was bad, Windows I can't say).

Yeah, looks very similar to the Courier font. Thanks!

That font looks lovely, what would be closest alternative I could find today to make my editor look that way? Not even sure what I should be googling for.

Nice!

Nice! did some digging: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Plugin-UI-architecture

That's actually pretty nice, was wondering if there are real tools/apps/interfaces out there which are using this as just a POC or a demo.

This is also interesting btw: https://github.com/neovim/python-client will definitely give that a try!

I've been a vim user for a while now, recently started my move over to emacs (evil mode is not bad at all), mostly influenced by the Clojure community.

What does neovim do for a not so hardcore user like me who's happy with the current state of affairs? Or in other words, what am I not doing right with vim that I fail to see what neovim offers, apart from a modern code base and may be a better way of writing plugins?

Just to add, my use case and motivation behind this tool has been staging content locally from my seed boxes. I am posting it here hoping that people find it useful.
