vim-obsession VS vim-awesome

You must be talkng about pair programming, because that's the only situation where any of this stuff would actually matter. I haven't tried it out, but one possible solution is to just use a shared session file. You can use something like https://github.com/tpope/vim-obsession to keep it updated, and then you can decide on some heuristic to reload the session file (like on a timer, or in an autocommand).

obsssion

If you use Tim Pope's obsession, you can disable it right after closing your tab, then re-open your session. The tab you closed will still be here.

These are the main characteristics of linefly: * Small size (564 lines of Lua) * Very fast startup (almost as fast as the stock Neovim statusline) * Simple tab support (workspace tabs only, not buffer tabs) * Winbar support (works well in combination with global statusline) * Git branch detection * Git status via Gitsigns * Diagnostic status * vim-obsession and possession.nvim session support * Minimal jank as mode changes or write-status or line number changes; I don't like it when the filename moves one or two characters left or right when there are state changes. Not here. * Direct colorscheme support for these themes: moonfly, nightfly (both my own themes) along with: catppuccin, dracula, edge, embark, everforest, gruvbox,gruvbox-material, kanagawa, nightfox, sonokai and tokyonight. All other themes will use best-guess-fallback colors derived from the theme in effect.

Nice work, I may have to try this out. Currently I rely on vim-obsession and a bash function to open vim with a session file matching the name of the directory I'm in.

Instead of a start screen, I prefer vim-obsession, Telescope, and which-key.nvim.

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

I don't have a solution for each one of your points, but I'm going to point out a couple that are very useful for me at least (most of these can be found on a site like vimawesome or just native configuration/usage).

Vim Awesome. This is probs the best resource for text editor related plugins for vim. Browse around the site and see what looks like it would work for you. Fugitive, NerdTree, Syntastic, and surround are pretty great for utility.

Get inspired and find your new plugins at https://vimawesome.com/

I originally landed on https://neovimcraft.com because of https://vimawesome.com

Vim is infinitely customizable. While Vscode allows you to change the app’s color scheme, install plugins, and change a few app settings, Vim offers you complete control over the editor’s experience. You have thousands of plugins to choose from. You can completely remap any keybinding and create new shortcuts for tasks in your daily workflow. And giving you more power as a developer, you can completely reprogram or automate your Vim experience with the built-in Vimscript language or Lua for Neovim.
