BetterVim is a Neovim distribution designed for developers and programmers. It packages Neovim with preconfigured settings, plugins, and tools to streamline the setup process for users who want a ready-to-use text editor environment. Rather than configuring Neovim from scratch, users get an optimized distribution that works out of the box. It targets developers seeking an efficient coding experience without extensive customization overhead.

Better Vim is a Neovim distribution featuring lots of slick defaults and an outstanding UI. Our distribution offers lightning-fast installation and a feature-rich environment, making it the perfect choice for developers of all levels. Better Vim is not only fast to install, it also includes a full set of plugins and configurations to make your life easier and unlock super powers for your code editing skills.

It's very easy to customize with my own settings! The name is not by chance, it's vim, it's better.. it's :BetterVim I've used VIM…from bettervim.com
