+Since [July 2021](https://www.oliverdavies.uk/blog/going-full-vim), I've used Neovim full-time for my development work and writing.
+
+Whilst Vim and Neovim are minimal by default, its functionality can be extended by adding plugins.
+
+I use nvim-lspconfig along with Intelephpense and Phpactor to add code actions and functionality like "go to definition" for PHP code.
+
+I use null-ls to apply code formatting and add diagnostic messages for PHPCS and PHPStan so I can see them on the appropriate lines.
+
+I use nvim-dap and nvim-dap-ui to leverage the debug adapter protocol to do step debugging with Xdebug.
+
+Along with others like dadbod.vim for databases, rest.nvim for making HTTP requests, Gitsigns and Fugitive for Git, and Telescope for fuzzy searching, I have all of the functionality that I've previously had in other browsers with the benefit that it's open source and I can add more plugins or write my own if I need to add anything else.
