    The new GNOME text editor is cool but lacks many features I need

    My trial of it went like this:
    > Upgraded to Fedora 36
    > “wow new text editor?”
    > See it lacks features like extensions, also the option to use tabs instead of spaces doesn’t seem to work
    > Uninstall it and install gedit…

    I hope the new editor catches up to gedit ASAP, because I like it aesthetically

    Just a nitpick, traversal in vim is fast because of its modal nature rather than because of keyboard shortcuts.

      I do agree that that’s the main reason that traversing Vim is fast. But, if you’re a power user, using Vim feels so fast and great because you can do almost anything with 1-2 keystrokes. And that same ability to do anything that you would ever need with a single keyboard shortcut, even if the shortcuts are slightly worse, is still there in Gedit.
