It feels like you just told me that the thing that works without extra steps isn't cool. Is the problem that you're worried about not being cool?

- danjac 3y agoThe problem is when you are a newbie to a space, you don't know the difference between "cool" and "what is the best practice as defined by the experts".
- divbzero 3y agoI can see both points of view. I’ve definitely been down the Vim config rabbit hole and struggled to find the right balance between “cool” (actively developed with newer features) vs. “best practice” (more mature and stable). My current approach is to search Hacker News comments for “vim plugin-feature-I-want” and the most popular comments usually point me in the right direction. For what it’s worth, I use Neovim with ALE at the moment and it works just fine.
- dbalatero 3y agoI'm a huge Neovim user, but the amount of "hey guys I just rewrote this perfectly fine plugin in Lua [for the Nth time] check it out" posts every day are tiring.
