All of these mods/plugins are fine. I use a few plugins for work too. But reading some of the posts here, it seems like some people don’t really know how to take full advantage of vim. Don’t just blindly add plugins because they look nice. Learn how buffers work. Learn about netrw. I’m not saying don’t use cool plugins, but once you understand how you can take advantage of these built-in tools, you can then decide whether you really need those extra third party plugins. I keep seeing people just blindly copying dot files and adding stuff they don’t necessarily want/need then complaining about weird behavior. Just take the time to understand how vim works whether it’s through docs or videos or online guides. I’m sorry if this is coming across as a rant, but I truly think a good chunk of you guys, whether you’re an enthusiast or a professional, would benefit from actually taking the time to learn how some of the already provided tools work first.
