A lot of what used to cause trouble for Vim was fixed with Neovim and the new async stuff Vim 8 introduced. This mainly ensures plugins don't have to block (though a lot still do). That said, there's still parts of Vim that don't benefit from this and especially on large files can get annoying. But since switching to Neovim I've had a significant drop in the amount of times I have to wait for vim to do something and sit there screaming "oh come on" at my monitor.
