I use the default file browser in vim (netrw). I know there are plugins that a lot of people like. Should I switch?
I personally use nerdtree. Add nerdtree-git-plugin too, that's nice when looking at your project (for files, use vim-gitgutter).

Margin indicator for Neovim
That said, Neovim can still run most Vimscript plugins just fine, so you can still use https://github.com/chrisbra/changesPlugin (and https://github.com/airblade/vim-gitgutter and https://github.com/mhinz/vim-signify/, which are mentioned in the README) if you want.

vim-signify or git gutter can do this for files managed by git.

What "new-to-you" tool did you recently start using that just changed your workflow for the better?
https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive https://github.com/airblade/vim-gitgutter Since your already on neovim these plugins are excellent for git integration within vim! You may just prefer lazygit but having a tight integration in editor is definitely really nice for my personal workflow. Your approach is more unix-y where you have a tool for each job though!

Are there plugins for Neovim that don't exist, that should exist, in your opinion?
vim-gitgutter supports staging/undoing hunks and a hunk text object. I find it convenient for this exact workflow.

How to commit part of file in Git
the only reason I do some git stuff in vim and not _always_ in the shell, is because tpope is very thoughtful and fugitive.vim provides nice ways to deal with hunks or hunk partials (visually selecting a range within a hunk, for i.e.)

GitUI
I agree, navigating blame history is incredibly useful, if only to save you from asking the wrong person about a particular change.
Vim's Fugitive[1] can do this and also in Textmate to. So I would hope that most editor git plugins can.

Is it too late to learn emacs as a vim lifer?
You'll want to invest the time in learning Magit, which will change your life once you get the hang of it (and I was a heavy user of Fugitive in Vim previously!), and it's unlikely you'll find a better integration with GDB anywhere else on the planet than with Emacs, though I can't say that empirically. You just need to take the plunge and start learning it, then cut over and take the hit in productivity one day when you're feeling adventurous. You'll ultimately become far more powerful than you've ever been. Especially if you delve into elisp over time. I use Spacemacs, which is bloated and has bugs, but it has so many features that I haven't undertaken the massive endeavor to replace it from scratch yet.

webify.nvim - Open the current file in the remote's web interface (github or gitlab) or yank its URL
For an option that works on Vim, if you already use tpope's vim-fugitive, there's vim-rhubarb (for GitHub) and fugitive-gitlab.vim (for GitLab).
