First of all. This is not another "how do I exit vim?" shitpost.

I've been using (neo)vim for about two years and I started to notice, that I,m basically unable to use non-vim editors. I do not code a lot, but I write a lot of markown. I'd like to use dedicated tools for this, but their vim emulators are so bad. So I'm now stuck with my customized neovim, devoid of any hope of abandoning this strange addiction.

Any help or advice?

Why would you wanna quit if vim works for you?

Plus vim can be an amazing markdown editor with a few dedicated plugins.

    Yes, it is amazing, but some things ( like md tables or writing katex eqations) are handled rough. And I still sometimes need to use something other than vim and then life gets hard.

    That's why for tables and katex equations I used plugins to help me with then to not be rough.

    As for other stuff than vim, minimize the nees for them if it really gets hard.

    Your vim obsession is looking kinda unhealthy at this point.

    I just prefer the vim bindings and motions, not an obsession. I use diff tools almost daily and can manage in them with no issues, but whenever I can use vim binding I will because they just feel better to me.

    Idk, mister/miss. Your comment was pretty concerning.

    What plugins can you recommend?

    I think the only markdown plugin I've used was for table alignment.
