Interesting how they comment streamers and influencers as a critical success for neovim.
Everyone that I know who uses vim/neovim learned it from a coworker, friend, or was forced to at some point (job, class).
I think I found out about neovim from hacker news and started using it. My neovim config was the same as my vim config for 5 years, now it’s fully using neovim plugins and 100% in lua.
I guess I’m from a different generation but I find code streamers and dev influencers to be extremely fake, cringe, and inauthentic. I don’t know how anyone would do what they say, but I guess it works.
I think Emacs definitely has a certain uncool vibe about it. Like, this comedy video from "Programmers are also human" sums it up pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urcL86UpqZc.
And I think this mental image would have to give way for Emacs to become more popular.
Now whether or not popularity for popularities sake is a good thing is another question.
