dotfiles VS idiomatic-vimrc

Here's mine. gitlab.com/jrop/dotfiles

I just got done doing this, actually: https://gitlab.com/jrop/dotfiles

I forget the exact combination, but it's the nvim-0.5 branch of my dotfiles: https://gitlab.com/jrop/dotfiles

Now a days my vimrc is less than 150 lines, and using Vim is good again. This helped me a lot: https://github.com/romainl/idiomatic-vimrc

Learning basic movement in vim can take about an hour or more, but setting up your own custom configuration that you are happy with can a month or longer (unless you use a preconfigured vimrc, but then you run into the issue of not understanding how to fix things if they break or not being able to add configuration to scratch your own niche itches). If you have time, and enjoy customization then go for it. Heres some basic guidelines for making your vimrc https://github.com/romainl/idiomatic-vimrc

My suggstion is do whatever you want. It's your config, not ours. Just know that if you stick to vim you'll eventually realize that your own personal workflow likely wont require a lot of plugins. I found https://github.com/romainl/idiomatic-vimrc useful as a reference when crafting my own config. I think it's a solid write-up.

I also recommend you use nearly blank vimrc. You should roughly understand each line in your vimrc. Use :help and google learn more.
