      One of the goals of neovim was to introduce tools to build a GUI around vim. Imo the terminal is by far the best option, but there are some fun options. Neovide is an interesting one. Mostly because it doesn’t do too much – just eye candy.

      You can also go with Neovim, but it only runs in the terminal.

      To me, that’s a feature, not a detractor.

      ETA: Not intending to imply that Emacs isn’t also a fine choice. I just like the terminal.

        I really like Neovim and I’ve been using it for over 2 years as my main IDE, but recently I started getting into Emacs. I like the Terminal as much as you do, but I just wanted to try out something new, so I went with Emacs. I’ve been using it for some time now, and I’m probably not going back, I’m very happy with it.

          That’s awesome! I’m probably going to give it another go over the holidays. It’s a super powerful tool and I recall liking it before but it just didn’t mesh with my needs (or I didn’t know enough at the time to make it mesh with my needs).
