How do you navigate different projects?
https://github.com/vim-ctrlspace/vim-ctrlspace is the main plugin I use to open files and jump between buffers. In terms of this plugin, a project is a "bookmark," and you can switch between them easily - each project is actually just a working directory. Then you can open files from the current project directory using fuzzy search. I use tabs to keep related buffers together. And one of strong points of ctrlspace is that it keeps buffer list separate per tab. In other words, each tab has its own list of buffers, so you can jump really quickly between them. Of course, you can search in all loaded buffers (like in :ls).

How to avoid having six million buffers open
I thought it would be nice to have something like :ls but only for buffers of a current tab. There's a plugin that does exactly that: https://github.com/vim-ctrlspace/vim-ctrlspace. It supports fuzzy search of buffers (as well as files in your project), but I mostly use j/k in the buffer selection list. You can do browsing in a separate tab to keep those uninteresting buffers separate from everything else. I just no longer use :ls since it still contains a list of all buffers ever opened, and vim-ctrlspace buffer switching is much better. Though I sometimes still use :b filename.

How do you handle multiple projects/workspaces with Neovim?
Maybe this could fill your requirements: https://github.com/vim-ctrlspace/vim-ctrlspace

Favorite unfamous vim/neovim plugin?
I personally love vim-ctrlspace. I found out about it a few months ago, and since then, it's really one of the few plugins that I can't live without.

How to handle multiple projects in a single instance
I used spacemacs for a few years and this problem was solved pretty neatly by projectile which basically filters all the buffer not in the current project. However it wasn't perfect and switch back to vim/tmux, but if for those who like this kind of workflow and don't want to use tmux (because for example they prefer a GUI version of vim), the vim plugin (ctrspace)(https://github.com/vim-ctrlspace/vim-ctrlspace) gives a similar workflow. I tried using but it wasn't for me.

Best way to implement a project like system?
Try vim-addon-local-vimrc to load a project specific vimrc or vim-ctrlspace to load session infos.

NvimTree vs NeoTree
My ‘-‘ is always mapped to a very quick file switcher so it’s currently opening lir (https://github.com/tamago324/lir.nvim)
-
Which file explorer do you use?
lir.nvim
-
Managing your files. How do you do it?
There is the built-in file browser, netrw, but I switched from that to vim-dirvish to lir.nvim to oil.nvim. These are file browsers, not file trees, and my preference for them is probably because I became accustomed to netrw after using it for so long.
-
Using neovim without a file tree plugin
netrw was part of my workflow for a while, but it had some weird bugginess just frequently enough to make me go looking for an alternative. I found lir.nvim and I've been liking it so far, especially because of how minimal and customizable it is.
-
Migrate from NerdTree to NvimTree
Just my two cents, try a file split-based file manager(1). I like lir.nvim. It’s very customizable and the API is amazing if you want to add your own functionality.
-
What are some of your favorite eye candy plugins?
lir.nvim, file manager with a simple interface and support for floating windows.
-
Using NerdTree-like file explore does not feel fast enough.
You should try lir.nvim it is a file explorer kinda like dirvish, I use both, lir for file management and NvimTree for a quick overview of the project
- Any plugin that gives me a floating file manager? I just need it to do operations like move, rename, copy and delete
-
What are your prized/favorite lua functions?
The file explorer uses lir.nvim.
-
what are the most underrated plugins in your view?
lir.nvim: A file explorer for those who don't like filetrees.
