I finally moved to neovim some time ago. I usually find frontends and plugins to be more trouble than they’re worth, but I should probably have a look at that. If it ever ends up in Debian, that is.
Why wait? It’s available from the project page as an AppImage, and if you’d rather build from source, it’s a Rust app – just clone the repo and cargo install --path . (or `cargo install --git https://github.com/neovide/neovide if you’d rather skip that step)
As for GUI frontends being a hassle, though, I hate to say I kind of agree with you, at least at first – I quite like Neovide now that I’ve gotten used to it (and bothered to configure it to my liking), but Konsole has more sensible defaults for sure. I’m also in the habit of :q any time I need to go back to a terminal to compile something and it is incredibly frustrating having my terminal emulator close and my entire editing session disappear on me whenever muscle memory takes over.
