Hi there!
I've tried getting minimal IDE-type setups working for a lot of langs recently.
They more or less work, but don't have working features like "jump to definition" (especially into the standard lib), or are otherwise really hard to get working and configured right.
This is helped a lot by the fact that the nim stdlib is also in Nim, and very easy to read and understand, vs many other langs, where things can get far more cryptic in the stdlibs.
Just a shoutout to nimsuggest and it's great integration with VS Code.
Yup, VS Code seems to be the run-away favorite editor in the Nim community. :)
I've been slooowly transitioning to Kakoune (which seems to be the freest editor in terms of licensing, and far faster and more portable), but it has a looooong way to go...

kakoune is great. of course ide-like integration is lacking but after using it for a bit i cant go without its editing model. and they added nim syntax highlighting so its good enough.
