As a >50 year old. I'm just starting on my NeoVim journey. I'm a Java dev, but want to use Nvim for stuff like terraform, k8s manifests, bash, yaml, json etc etc. Hard part is getting all those key maps into my old brain.

@ArcRCG

Newbie here and I feel like I'm living the golden age of neovim.

@stalecu

You managed to convince an Emacs nerd to try out nvim finally. I've been trying to avoid it out of laziness and stubbornness (both b/c of Emacs and because of Vim). I might even incorporate some of the ideas in Kickstart in my own Evil Mode config in Emacs as well as how Kickstart itself is organized. Kudos to you, Teej

Hey TJ I created a kickstart naima and it works. I need to create a sidebar with file tree. How to approach this issue?

@Feenskee

That opening sequence was Oscar worthy

"For all my single users, pacman". Truth shots fired.

@Phil-x-Phil

give a man a neovim config and you feed him for a year. teach a man to configure neovim and you feed him for a lifetime.

Great video!

@256k_

your first kickstart last year was a great jumping off point to me with my neovim config. i did just that, took it, removed a bunch of stuff, added a bunch of stuff and modified a bunch of stuff to make it do what i want.

it's the perfect starting ground for someone who wants to get started quickly with some sensible plugins and default mappings but doesn't want to be trapped by a distribution or someone else's "layer"

great job TJ. the passion and effort that you and the neovim core team put into neovim is truly felt. thank you all for the great work.

@AhmadMughal1

Lua really has pushed neovim to a different level of popularity. Love seeing people find this tool and seeing how powerful it is.

@ducktordanny

It's nice to see an update! After your first kickstart video I started to use NeoVim and since then I just love it! 🙏🏻

@bbfh-yt

I'm not new to neovim, but after watching this video I decided to remake my config using this awesome kickstart. It looks great

@juangiordana

The comments on the reasoning around the key mappings has been very useful to me. I'm always confused about what the standard is in regards to key mappings.

Thanks a lot for these videos!

@julien6331

Haven't seen the full video yet but I have played with the kickstart for 3h.
The documentation effort is incredible. That would by my fifth attempt at nvim... I never sticked simply because each time I grew tired of having to look for information for hours just to know how to do simple stuff or cobble things together.
You guys managed to make it incredibly easy and enjoyable. I'm jumping left and right on the different helpers and learning so much without feeling lost or having to go look elsewhere.

Again, just incredible. Tysm for all your hard work on this.

@zeratax

your videos are all so good. they’re so concise and focused

@ThomasKunze-m2f

Brilliant! I have seen neovim for the first in action last week on youtube. I used kickstart to learn about vim and neovim this week. Now I have a fully self configured development environment for Rust, Python, Svelte, Flutter, shell, terraform with trouble, neotest, nvim-tree tighly integrated with telescope and whichkey. The kickstart project and this video helped me from not even knowing what vim and neovim exactly is to uninstalling all other editors and riding neovim.

@milestobudapest

Just started my neovim journey this year and you have been an excellent source of reliable, concise and helpful information. Big thank you from me!

@the_worst_coconut

I really like this approach to making tools more discoverable and noob-friendly without giving up the power user features. Thanks

@shanekunz

I think I tried to watch this 8 months ago and sort of got lost and gave up. This time I did the :Tutor again, watched Lua in 100 seconds, and went through this video, and actually understood a decent amount of what's going on and why neovim is awesome. Moving on up in the world. It's nice to revisit things and see that I may have gotten smarter or something.

@jgttech

Holy crap this was amazing! TJ you killed it! This is the kind of thing I have been SEARCHING for, for about 6 months switching to Neovim from VS Crap.

@johnc3403

The idea of kickstarting user's into their own nvim config, rather than gifting them a ready-made nvim distro is wonderful. You get it, and those of us who value learning get it too. Don't underestimate what you have given to the vi, vim and nvim communities. This video in particular, is a landmark video in my personal vi, vim and nvim journey, and thank you for that!
