Why do you like using Neovim despite its difficulty in setup and maintenance?

I'm a new vim user. I've been using the vim motions for 2+ years in Intellij. I use intellij at my work. But for my personal projects, i've been using Lunarvim.

What I've realised, I can get in the zone much faster when using neovim. Instead of Intellij. I think if I get to the point that I have my own vim configuration, it would feel like something really personal. I use Lunarvim & Zellij and it's awesome.

Have you noticed any rendering performance issues with Lunarvim within Zellij and without?

Right now I'm using PopOs when I use the default terminal nerdfonts do not render correctly. But in other terminals i have no problem.

Primarily because I don't have to use a mouse

The key sequence customization, motion commands, and editor modes make editing code way easier

I don't seem to be missing anything from VS Code in terms of IDE features (LSP and intellisense like capabilities)

Let's discuss.
