Re: configuring, I've used (Neo)Vim for +15 years, and I configure very rarely. I started out with a 5 line .vimrc which is now a 150 line init.vim, about half of which is plugin installation and a few options for ALE. That said when I do configure, I'm dedicated to it. The goal is to set it and forget it for literally years in order to build up muscle memory. So it's worth playing around and finding what works. It did take me a few months of consistent use to get better in Vim than other editors. I think that's faster than most people? I'm a pretty good typist so I think that probably makes a big difference. All of which is to say: - Definitely stick with it (maybe try to think of it as "cool" rather than a slog, maybe investigate cool plugins or color schemes to help reinforce that) - Invest in your config - Work on your typing (and address any discomfort that arises--super important)
