    Sublime text! Neovim and the likes just stop being performsnt enough once you start adding extensions and I sort of need a good GUI. Sublime is still unbeatable, sadly.

      Interesting, I’ve got plenty of plugins in my Neovim setup and I have zero performance problems. That includes auto completion, tree sitter, surround… I’m curious what plugins you were using that made it slow down

        LSP and a really big project, although it’s not necessarily neovims fault

          Now you’ve got me curious how big of a project that was - I’ve not really had any slowdowns or speed issues at all with Neovim, even paired with an LSP in some of my team’s biggest projects. Few hundred thousand files not counting vendor libs, that sort of thing.

          I think the only thing I’ve ever seen really slow down was Telescope, and that’s because I have it showing previews of the selected file.

            Few hundred thousand files

            My definition of “really big” is changed. I was talking about around 10k files of source code.

            The project is in java, the machine has 8 Gb ram, and when I open a different file it sometimes catches brief freezes - not to the point where it stops “being performant enough”, but still noticeable. Also, sometimes nvim-tree is slow when I expand directory, which is annoying

              Hmm. I’m not super familiar with Java’s LSP setup and such, but my instinct is that it might be something to do with the performance of its syntax highlighting. The person I am, I can’t help but wonder what plugins you were using, but I won’t push to try and help you get it solved necessarily. Hope you’ve found a good solution with your current editor though!
