Used to use vimium for a while in the browser due some RSI complaints. Years later a colleague of mine was bashing me I didn't know how to use vim. Just to prove point I taught myself the basics, started using vim shortcuts in my IDE. Few months later I started using NvChad, which is amazing btw. After finding out about LSP support etc, I knew I could just switch completely.

Built my own config from scratch and been happily using neovim for about 2 years now.
