My 2024 PDE: NeoVim
Treesitter is a syntax parser that'll build a tree-like structure to enable anything from excellent syntax highlighting through to complex refactoring. There are so many creative ways you can use Treesitter, from jumping around text objects to commenting sections of code, it's a must-have in my books.

Noobie Needs a Nudge
A couple nice quality of life plugins would be: Comment (which lets you use a keybinding to comment/uncomment things), Autopairs (which will make the paired brackets/parentheses/etc.), and Rainbow2 (which color-matches the pairs if things like parentheses).

Treesitter is unusable on typescript files
Based on your reply I recommend taking out the comment plugin, replacing it with https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-textobjects and https://github.com/numToStr/Comment.nvim

Comment.nvim: Simple and powerful comment plugin for neovim. Supports commentstring, dot repeat, left-right/up-down motions, hooks, and more
Yeah, you are right but currently, most of them only support commentstring which means only single-line comments. But block comments are sometimes useful too. Also, I was using tcomment before, which IMO is the best commenting plugin for vim/neovim as it supports left-right motion comments which I haven't seen in any Lua plugin as of now. So that's why I decided to write this plugin to honor tcomment and to port all of its features to Lua :)

nerdcommenter seems to better figure out what comment syntax to use than vim-commentary, but i like vim-commentary more at everything else
That said, I switched to tcomment years ago because it better detected single va multi-line comments for me.

vim-commentary block vs line comments

What are some alternatives?
When comparing Comment.nvim and tcomment_vim you can also consider the following projects:
nvim-treesitter - Nvim Treesitter configurations and abstraction layer
vim-commentary - commentary.vim: comment stuff out
kommentary - Neovim commenting plugin, written in lua.
nvim-ts-context-commentstring - Neovim treesitter plugin for setting the commentstring based on the cursor location in a file.
