Nothing, because popularity (often) means death.

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.
