Why Neovim is My Text Editor of Choice
As a software engineer, choosing and understanding your text editor is important part of your work, as it impacts your productivity and workflow efficiency. It's like choosing the perfect tool for any trade - you need to know what tool to use and how to use it effectively if you want to excel. For me, I use Neovim as my editor and I have been using it for a little over a year now.

This got me thinking about my recent pivot, my switch to Neovim by way of LazyVim to write most of my code, and using tmux to keep terminal states alive after closing a session.

Aftermath of switching from VSCode to Neovim
All these thoughts I've shared, I would have them on occasion - but ever since I switched to Linux and Neovim, my curiosity has been through the roof. Switching over to Neovim and Linux was a not so fun weekend of configuration and spending half a day getting my work's local dev environment running on my new OS (which no one has tested development on). But I now have a deeper understanding of the tools I use, and have a text editor configured to be the most optimal for the way I want to use it.

Vimtex not loading (vim-plug)
Did you really install VimTeX? Did you run :PlugInstall? Ensure you installed and set up vim-plug correctly (https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug). If VimTeX is installed, it should be installed to '~/.vim/plugged', thus you can open a terminal, then cd ~/.vim/plugged/vimtex and you should find the files there.

How to use VIM text editor
If you're determined to use vim for some reason, I'd suggest checking out vim-plug: https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug. Quite useful for installing and maintaining all of the plugins that you're going to need to get vim to provide even a subset of the features offered by modern editors.

Vundle.vim does not exist anymore
Not sure if Vundle did anything particularly fancy, but I'm using vim-plug [0] and have no complaints. It stays out of my way to the point that I had to look at my .vimrc just now to make sure that's what I was using.
