You’re absolutely right that this can happen, but wrong that it is representative. Let’s take all the serious vim users in the world. How many have this kind of plugin hell experience? A tiny percentage.
Serious vim users don’t try to create a kitchen sink IDE. They start with a vanilla base and with their way up, including just the features that are important to them.
Starting with something like LazyVim is fine too. Then you get a rich set of plugins that have been configured for you. Lovely! And now just be thoughtful about what you later on top.
- danjac 3y agoI agree that vim is a perfectly fine text editor. Yet half the (neo)vim people in this thread are yelling it's the One True IDE that can, in fact, do everything, and if you are using VSCode or IntelliJ or whatever then you must be a noob or too lazy to invest time in your tools.
- gsinclair 3y agoThat is a massive exaggeration, indeed outright misrepresentation, of what people are saying.
