Suggest me some startup screen plugins
I'm currently using alpha.nvim (https://github.com/goolord/alpha-nvim). It tries to be more generic than the others, to the point it can recreate most of the other popular ones. It even has template for for example the dashboard layout. startup-nvim (https://github.com/startup-nvim/startup.nvim) seems to do a similar thing, although I dont' have experience with that one. The only other one I've tried before is the classic vim-startify (https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify), which is a little older I think and locks you into its layout.

Is it worthwhile to learn to use vi?
Tbh, startify made me more curious about all the vim possibilities. https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify

is there is a session manager plugin ?
Just for posterity since every other session plugin has been posted, vim-startify has autosave and autoload support

Do you use vim-startify, or used to? Send me your configs
I am working on a, from scratch, rebuild of the ever classic vim-startify for neovim with a focus on extreme extensibility. I also want it to be as much of a drop in replacement as possible, and don't want to write myself into a corner with some design choices I'm taking

Remember open buffers per project?
https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify has also means to store sessions with command 'SSave'.

Finally found a good replacement for Startify (mini.starter)
I was trying to center the startup screen for vim-startify and went down the rabbit hole of looking for a different startup plugin. My main use is that I want to start my already existing startify sessions as everything else I do with Telescope. I found mini.starter and it is working exactly as I want it to so I thought I would share for others that look for something similar. Don't get put off by the many components of the plugin. They are not loaded if you don't need them. Here is my a screenshot and my config for a minimal, centered, startup:

How to go to previous buffer (alternate-file) after Startify?
I am using :e# and ctrl-^ a lot to switch between most recent files (alternate-file), but if I open a file with startify , those commands will error with E23: No alternate file.

Make NERDTree work with Tabs and Sessions.
your use case is a bit of an edge case, usually people have it off by default and turn it on to get a glance at the file structure. Looks like it's an open issue too: https://github.com/jistr/vim-nerdtree-tabs/issues/68
