vim-go VS vim-plug

I found a github issue that seems related, but following the steps to start dlv on my own does not work either. https://github.com/fatih/vim-go/issues/3543

There are a handful of really good go plugins that take care of this for you, such as https://github.com/ray-x/go.nvim or https://github.com/fatih/vim-go

With vim-go and snippets, neovim has almost the same functionality as GoLand

So does anyone know how to actually install it? The "instructions" (which I presume had to be dictated by their straight-jacketed author) from GitHub are, utterly useless, requiring the user to already have vim-go installed before beginning vim-go installation. You'll need vim-go to install vim-go, you see, because with a working vim-go installation can the user execute the special command to install vim-go's dependencies (because that's how software works ya know). And, if you have any trouble installing vim-go, it says, not to worry - further instructions have been provided along with your existing vim-go installation - just execute `:help go-install` (requires existing vim-go installation, of course) and from there, it's turtles all the way down! So as long as you have vim-go installed, installing vim-go is a breeze! Am I having an anheurysm right now? What the hell is this?

git clone https://github.com/fatih/vim-go.git ~/.local/share/nvim/site/pack/plugins/start/vim-go

with this wonderful plugin: https://github.com/fatih/vim-go

Hi, usually Vim works as expected: scroll mouse event move a buffer content for a few lines. But sometimes something broke and every scroll event move a whole screen, like I pressed PageUp or PageDown. I thought that this is a defect with some plugin - because I can reproduce it only with vim-go and mouse=a - without other plugins and configs. I tried multiple terminals, and even boot Ubuntu live USB - still reproducible with my private company codebase, so I cannot share the code. This is my ticket for that plugin - the author said that this is might be something with my system configuration. Please help.

At first Ihad struggled with some common "IDE" tasks. But then I discovered vim-go and realized that it could do pretty much everything that I need and even more.

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.

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.

I encourage you to add plugins to your vim (tip: use vim-plug). Use vimawesome.com for inspiration.

Personally, I like https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug

But the plugin manager https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug can also install from offline sources, without accessing Github:

To get started, simply install the plugin using your favorite plugin manager, such as vim-plug or packer.nvim. You can find detailed installation instructions in the README.

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.

I chose to move on to vim-plug and can report it was a simple switch from Vundle.
