CLI coding

Hi everyone! I’ve been trying to get used to coding directly from the terminal, but Vim itself doesn’t fully click with me. I know there are popular forks and distributions like LazyVim, NvChad, and others that build on top of Neovim to make it more user-friendly and customizable. I’m interested in editors or setups that let me program efficiently in the terminal, with good plugin support, syntax highlighting, navigation, and the ability to modify the workflow to my taste.

What alternatives would you recommend for someone who likes the idea of Vim-style editing but wants a more plug-and-play, customizable environment without having to start completely from scratch?
