I too use intellij and neovim for everything and agree mostly, but what's your motivation to check out new editors? Is it for just for fun? In my mind an editor is one of those things I wouldn't consider changing unless the alternative is heavily funded and leagues much better than my current choice.

I try new stuff regularly. People can build cool stuff. Google is releasing a new IDE soon. I'll try it. Cursor.so is a cool idea. I tried it. Zed sounds great (I love high performance) so I tried it. Haven't switched yet though!

But I was 100% vim for years and over time, slowly started using intellij and friends. I hated how slow it felt. But as I learned the features, it became a no-brainer.

If I didn't try new stuff I wouldn't have used it.

I did the same thing with terminals for a while, and settled on Kitty. (I'd never use fig / warp). Speaking of which, IntelliJ 2024 EAP terminal is horrific. I had to downgrade.
