In the blog post, the author mentions using shim programs to translate between things like tree sitter and kakoune, how many of these sort of things do you use in practice, is it difficult to manage them? The nice thing with neovim compared to a setup like this is that I don’t need anything installed aside from git and the editor itself.
I needed to install a plugin to select objects delimited by characters, which I infer provides some of the basic behavior of tree-sitter, but since I forget the details, I guess that means there’s no fiddling involved. Set it and forget it.
Kakoune has a welcoming and helpful community, so when I struggled to understand the basics of configuration and installing plugins, I got the help I needed. It’s been a few years since I needed help, so perhaps that means I’m not adventurous enough and perhaps that means everything has simply kept working with little maintenance.
I have vague memories of putting in effort to set things up, but evidently that didn’t traumatize me.
I’m happy with Kakoune, but when I start to want more, Helix is high on my of editors to learn.
