    I've spent so much time on configuring my (Neo)vim over the years I wouldn't even be able to estimate it (here it is if you're curious: https://github.com/kirillbobyrev/dotfiles/tree/main/.config/...).

    The most important ones lately seem to be the LSP integrations (basically IDE features like autocompletion, go-to-definition etc) and auto-completion managers. But honestly it's been breaking all the time over the last year or so that I code more often in VSCode and maybe it's about time I stop trying to make an ever-improving IDE out of Neovim :(

    Neovim project's direction seems to be aligned with making it easier to have IDE-like experience with LSP integration but it's been painful in Neovim. In Vim, it's typically even worse and even harder to set it up.

    Overall, I've been using Vim for about 8 years and went from a really simple set-up of "this is just a text editor" down the IDE rabbit hole. I also went for Vim -> Neovim -> Vim -> Neovim and eventual split of the two configs in the end and. I'm thinking about making it much simpler again :D

    It depends what kind of person you are, how much energy you want to invest, how much patience you have for stuff that isn't the code you're writing, how much you enjoy editing itself, etc.

    I have a quite extensive setup (https://github.com/Julian/dotfiles/tree/main/.config/nvim) which I built up over 10+ years, indeed sometimes including sitting there for an hour or two and just investigating plugins or writing some function to make editing easier. I enjoy it, and it means I can do lots of things in my setup that involved time investment.

    Others obviously just want to get on with their work.

    To me though part of the reason I use vim/neovim is because anytime something annoys me about editing I can automate it, or find a plugin which has done so already.

    I have to read through yours which indeed look nice from a quick scan, but if your goal is firstly to save typing file paths, I presume you instead considered just having a shell mapping to do that instead of needing to instrument aliases for each command? Here's mine, which I get by hitting ctrl-s anywhere in any command line: https://github.com/Julian/dotfiles/blob/main/.config/zsh/com...
