You're right, basic Vim or Neovim are definitely not easier, especially that you have multiple packages to choose from. I believe it's easier to start with one of existing Vim configurations like Janus[0] or spf13-vim[1]. I tried a couple of such frameworks and they helped me a lot. They come with set of packages for navigation, fuzzy finding, as well as with some package manager. They're also quite easy to install.
