Terrestrial NeoVim

Well, I scrapped spacevim. It just didn't work out from me; even with the lazy loading, it was still pretty slow to start on my old laptop (although, to its credit, it was still speeding up a little a few days later). What surprises me, though, is that the 436-line, 27-plugin configuration of neovim is still significantly faster. Which, incidentally, is what I have been up to today.

Vim In SPACE! - Trying a Vim Distribution

I have been a *vim-exclusive user since the late 2010's, which (un-)coincidentally was around the time I switched full-time to Linux. Specifically, neovim is my weapon of choice (based purely on a cursory examination of the mission statement and repo).

After finding out about Free software from a Richard Stallman talk (how exactly I got to said talk was a journey inandof itself), which led me to learning about GNU, and specifically GNU Emacs. At that point, I considered myself something of a software minimalist, so I decided Emacs was too bloated for my to try. Then I heard about it again a couple years later, from Distrotube, and I thought about giving it a try. It seemed to run just as quickly as vim on his videos.
