People who swear by Oil.nvim , why?
For me I think it’s the best at what it does (with mini.files coming in a close second. It would probably be my first, but I prefer the whole buffer approach over the floating popups.) I’ve tried dirbuf.nvim as well, but I didn’t like that I couldn’t copy/move files.

What are the plugins you consider necessary to have a great neovim experience?
Shout-out to dirbuf.nvim as it is one of my favorite plugins I cannot live without, but I see it rarely mentioned. It allows you to do file management by editing a file, so you can do anything you would do to edit any regular file. There are no new keymaps to learn, you just use any regular motion, :s, :g, or anything you can think of. Great for bulk renaming!

My thoughts about editors in 2022
While I do use file managers often (ranger and dolphin are pretty nice overall), within Neovim my file management is fairly reduced. I use dirbuf when I need to browse through files (for refactors or something), and since it's dired-like its a lot more built into the "vim-as-a-language" mindset. Not to say I do a whole lot in it, but it is quicker than having to do shell stuff within Neovim. I think file-tree plugins tend to just miss the concept for me, as I never found them to be anything more than just "look and see" due to disconnect from the aforementioned "vim-as-a-language"

What file explorer do you use?
https://github.com/elihunter173/dirbuf.nvim, it's basically netrw done right.
-
netwr like file explorer for neovim?
https://github.com/elihunter173/dirbuf.nvim might just be the thing. In terms of navigating it's as minimal as it can be:
-
What file manager do you use?
I use fish shell with z plugin to quickly jump to directories and nnn file manager mainly to select files for deletion. I also use dirbuf plugin for neovim when working inside this editor.

neovim plugins that have improved your workflow
dirbuf.nvim!
-
Which file browser do you use ?
dirbuf mostly. Anything really advanced and I'll just open a new ranger session
-
What is the coolest, unknown(-ish) plugin that you're using that other people could benefit from?
dirbuf doesn't get enough attention. It's a robust, simple, yet featureful replacement for the netrw plugin built into Vim/NeoVim. It allows directories to be treated somewhat like files - edit a directory, and you get a directory listing. That listing can be modified - add files, edit files, delete files, and the result ends up on disk. A much simpler and more-Vimy alternative to tree plugins like NeoTree, in my view.

Best way to manipulate files inside neovim?
You can ranger inside of Neovim with this plugin rnvimr. Check it out. Neo-tree is another plugin that I like as a file manager. And also mini.files is another option if you prefer a more minimal approach and the ability to manipulate files like you edit a normal Neovim buffer. I'm pretty sure there are other great options out there as well, these are just my personal preferences.
-
main file explorer plugin replacement?
https://github.com/kevinhwang91/rnvimr is pretty good, it opens ranger in a floating terminal and takes care of file renaming and deletion, etc.
-
What plugins do you use to manage work across multiple files?
Ranger inside Neovim for when I need it
- what is this plugiin?

[Plugin] ranger.nvim
This plugin is unique from the other alternatives such as ranger.vim and rnvimr in that my plugin has no dependencies besides ‘ranger’ and written in 100% lua.
-
Which file explorer do you use?
chadtree for dealing with files in the current project & Rnvimr (which basically integrates Ranger) when I want to work with files all over the disk.
-
VSCode like file preview in neovim?
Although Ranger is a terminal application, you can use it in neovim via some plugins like rnvimr.
-
Am I missing something with "move file" in neotree?
If you don't mind switch to another plugin I highly recommend rnvimr to use ranger, a real-world, feature-complete file amanger perfecrly integrated in nvim.
