    Stupid reasons, I know.

    Not at all lol. I really like the highly configurable feel of (neo)vim, the nice community around it, with its many plugins, and ofc the vim-style workflow. Not eating up my computer’s resources (even though it is a quite powerful laptop) is important to me, not only because it is indeed sad to see such consumption, but also because that consumption drain battery faster.

    and in the end I managed to do so (and it turned out pretty well, I’d say), so hurray.

    It does look good indeed! I had a wrong (most likely outdated) idea of the Lua API, but I have to say it is rather nice looking :P
    Might consider something like this, idk. This API is certainly pretty interesting, and I think neovim hit quite the spot with having it, because now you can have plugins that really benefit from a language that works really well for this purpose and an existing ecosystem of interpreters, runtimes, packages, etc. Stuff like telescope.vim (which is just amazing) wouldn’t be possible, or at least pretty unfeasible, with just vimscript.
