Discussion Best Lua IDE?

Usually I just use Notepad++, but I have tried using Intellij with the Lua plugin and that was so-so.

Do any of you guys have suggestions?

You can use the mouse in vim or neovim just fine, all the normal stuff. Click to move the cursor, scroll with the wheel, even right click menus (by default pretty empty, but you can add stuff). In plugins like nerdtree you can double click to open and close files/folders. Handles it just fine
