Quickpeek.vim and Popup Windows - cool video showing Vim hacking in real time
Here's the quickpeek.vim plugin that's briefly mentioned at the beginning. Cool to demo a plugin and then explain how it's made.

Again, I think you're coming from a place of a lot of experience w/ VSCode and less in Vim. I needed PlantUML for something, so I:
- Googled for 'vim plantuml'
- Went to https://github.com/weirongxu/plantuml-previewer.vim
- Added "Plug 'weirongxu/plantuml-previewer.vim'" and "Plug 'akit/plantuml-syntax'" to my init.vim
- Ran ":source ~/.config/nvim/init.vim"
- Ran ":PlugInstall"
At least to me, this is the same as opening up the plugin catalog in VSCode and picking stuff.

I do a lot of varied development across different tech too: React, C, Svelte, Python/FastAPI/Django, Go, Lua, various SQLs, protobufs, JSON, CSVs... just all kinds of stuff. I've found Vim to not only be adequate, but excel. Maybe VSCode is great at all of these things, but that's not my point. My point is Vim works for me in the case you're describing, lots of different kinds of development on several different platforms.

I think this is maybe the crux of our disagreement: you're pretty anti-config. I'm not wild about config either, some people's .vimrc files make me shudder, and when I learned about EMACS config bankruptcy I laughed out loud haha. But like, I like that I can set my default tabstop and shiftwidth, or change it per-language. I like that I can set hlsearch and incsearch. And I like that I can drop my config on almost any machine running and I'm in my element. There's a balance to strike, for sure, and maybe it is nice to sort of live out of a suitcase for your work life as it were. But for me, I've enjoyed decorating my work home.
