Neovim is the most admired code editor in the 2024 Stacked Overflow Developer Survey

I must be a minority then. I tried it once - as in, I made a real, honest attempt at liking it and making it work for me - and all it managed to do is show me it's buggy and confused, and to convince me to steer well clear of it and stick to vanilla Vim.
I really really dislike Neovim.
Also, I question the vailidy of a survey in which VSCode is 13 times more "desired" - whatever that means, it's not like it's hard to procure - than VSCodium, given that VSCodium is VSCode sans the Microsoft spyware. Makes no sense to me...
Can't use Pylance in VSCodium /rant
It's one of vscode's killer features (at least for Python), and I can't live without it (I tried).
Yes, I don't like it either; I wish I could use Pylance in Neovim or anything else LSP-enabled, but it is what it is.
