    I have been using vim for much much time now. Everything is going well but every time I want to format my code I got stuck. I have tried many plugins like vim-autoformat which is not formatting correctly (not the major filetypes like JSX, TSX), vim-prettier which is very slow and I have to wait some seconds to get the file formatted correctly, coc-prettier this was my favorite but I shifted to LSP so no usage of this plugin now.
