    By visual studio do you mean VS Code?

    I use VS Code to program python in a Jupyter notebook, can neovim work for that?

      Neovim can be used for anything you want! it’s a great experience if you’re willing to take the time and learn it

      I have heard of jupyter but am not familiar with its nuances.

      But doing python dev with neovim is very doable, it uses the same LSP I think.

      I personally have a dedicated dev machine running debian that has everything on it, including nvim configured.

      I SSH into my dev box from other machines to do work, because neovim is a TUI it “just works” over SSH inside the terminal itself, which is what I like about it.

      It feels good to just

      1. SSH into my box
      2. tmuxinator my-project-name

      And boom, 4 tmux tabs pop open ready to go in the terminal:

      • nvim (pointing at the project dir)
      • lazygit already open
      • nvim (pointing at my secrets.json file elsewhere)
      • an extra general console window opened to project root

      And I can just deep dive into working asap in just those 2 steps, it feels very smooth.

      I often can even just do tmux a (short for attach) to just straight re-open whatever session I last had open in tmux, instantly jumping right back into where I left off.
