This looks good. Soon I’ll be able to work exclusively in the terminal.

The only thing missing is an IDE.

I'm planning to implement SQL editor to enable gobang to execute SQL until next release :)

The last release of neovim is quite amazing as an IDE, the LSP is a game changer

I’ll give it a try. I’m starting to get more and more annoyed with the responsiveness of traditional IDEs. Maybe it’ll be better if I cut out most of the UI crap.

There is a plugin for connecting to DBs [0] and others built upon it, a UI [1] and even completion [2].

As a recent convert to neovim the one thing I'm missing is a nice integration with databases. In PyCharm I used to be able to connect a database to my project and get SQL code completion and data exploration very easily.

Why would you want to abandon graphical UIs for TUIs? Honest question, I want to know what advantages it might have that I am not seeing.

You don't need to run X/Wayland so they can be used via SSH etc.

More thought is put into keyboard shortcuts.

Theming/customization is easier.

Mostly I’m hoping that eliminating one source of lag will make my input experience better.

IntelliJ is perfect in almost all ways, but recently my projects have been growing and it’s just… so… sloow…

I agree with you on that, which is why I am trying to become proficient in Emacs!!

I've been using IntelliJ for many years, but I really want something lighter and emacs is perfect for that: I use it on a Raspberry Pi and it runs as fast as on my more powerful laptop.

I use the GUI version of emacs though... I did try the terminal version but it just doesn't seem to make much sense to me (I miss the much more nicely rendered diffs, images etc) when I can use TRAMP to edit files on any machine (as long as you can ssh into it).
