You’ll find some things are broken and janky in Windows and Linux. Just different jank you’re not used to. I have friends who complain about how they have to do weird workarounds for Linux and then turnaround and fuck with RegEdit. You get used to either given enough time.

I made a function bound to <leader>cd that opens up the file editor in the directory of the currently open buffer. I use it all the time. I’ll post the snippet if anyone is interested.

Multi cursor stuff is cool. Maybe not a one to one replacement, but I tend to use global commands to do basically the same thing.

Prioritizing developer experience is not the reason we use front-end frameworks. People expect the web to work like a desktop app (no page reloads). The initial request might take a little bit longer, but in the end a well written front-end app will feel faster.

The problem is that people don’t worry about bundle size and cram every library off of npm into their website.
