I had multiple failed starts with (n)vim, always getting frustrated way before I had a usable setup, until I just used NvChad. It's basically a preconfigured version, with all the plugins, keybinds,... you could probably want.

It gave me something usable right out of the box. I continued tinkering with it for almost two years before moving on to my completely custom configuration.

IMO the people that say you should start with bare (n)vim in order to learn everything from the ground up are delusional. There's no reason you can't learn all that stuff after you've actually experienced how nice the entire thing can be.

I'll be using it with c# and unity. I don't care about debuggers, or starting the project from the IDE. I imagine there are plugins that hook it up to the c# language server?

I'm planning to learn Rust, so I might also just get started with that plus nvChad. Then I keep using Rider for my daily work.

Yeah, getting LSP + Linter + Formatter for basically any language set up is very straightforward with NvChad.

Debuggers/testing framework can be a little more work, but if that's not required for you, all the better :D

I bet there's also plugins available that help with integrating Unity and nvim (I know there are for Godot).

Good luck, and have fun with this rabbithole 😄

Why does this feel like you've just given me some free heroin to try?

And unity doesn't need integration. It automatically integrates itself into anything. It'll just put a popup window right in the middle of the screen that you can't get rid of without killing it. It'll tell you something too private that you didn't really want to know. Eventually, while coding, it will just bring itself entirely to the front. Alt tab won't work.

👀 (to both of those statements)
