I’ve watched a few of these videos ranging from monolithic 5 hours to completely inadequate 20 minutes. This setup video is almost perfect. You cover everything in a well thought out well ordered manner. You explain everything with just enough detail without breaking off into any severely opinionated sermons about why your way is the correct way and everyone else is wrong (not naming names ;) ). You explain nearly every keystroke and also include on on-screen display of the keys pressed. I cannot tell you how extraordinarily helpful this is. Thank you for the obvious time and effort spent creating and delivering this video. Thank you!

@jocelyn-n-tech Місяць тому
@@joseanmartinez I couldn't agree more. I was so confused / frustrated / intimidated by the vim/neovim ecosystem that I avoided it for years and just admired the ones who used it from afar. Then I ran across one of your earlier setup videos using LazyVim package manager. I followed it and actually got the darn thing up and running! I forced myself to use is for 60 days straight and now it's been over a year and half since I've used VSCode as my daily editor! I'll be honest that sometimes I do keep it open and minimized solely for when I have to do some Git Foo and will used it's source control panel to resolve some heavy conflicts but other than that it's neovim all day long. Something about your teaching style just clicks with me and makes it make sense. Thanks so much.

Same here! I've mentioned it to @joseanmartinez before, but my workflow is heavily influenced by his dotFiles. I wouldn't have even known about sketchybar without him. I'm pretty happy with my current .nvim configs, but that's not stopping me from watching this in its entirety in case I want to procrastinate on real work so I can fiddle with my setup "one last time."

I'm working back and forth with nvim, vscode and intelliJ for different purposes all the time, but I started vim about 5 years and nvim about 2 years ago. The struggle with nvim for me, is that I'm not familiar with a lot of the plugins and eco system in general, people in the industry almost never explain what cmp, lsp, fugitive, mason, lazy, etc. is, which makes it hard to distinguish the things in an unknown environment. But not Josean, he explains everything from scratch, which is amazing, I can see the work that you put into that video and the blog post, you're a great guy man. Wish you the best for you and your family!
