Discussion on: Why I use Vim

I usually don't code in vim, but when I do, I can't code in static typed languages without autocomplete, they are too verbose to write everything by hand. I use coc.nvim Intellisense engine for Vim8 & Neovim, full language server protocol support as VSCode.

I use that too. It's been great. I have been working on large codebase and in my experience, coc.nvim doesn't work very well (I have a very large controller, and it lags pretty bad).

On medium to small codebase like microapps, it works great!

Recently I tried turning coc.nvim off to see how I would do without it and just use Vim's native autocompletion, so far it's been great! (:h ins-completion for more info).

even in small project is makes vim noticeably slower, but I can bear that for the benefit of intellisense.
