Vim distros: LunarVim, AstroVim, IdeaVim, … how they differ one each other?
The only Vim distro I'm aware of is SpaceVim (https://spacevim.org/). I just tested it for a short time but it couldn't compete with my hand crafted settings ;-) But I'm using some of the plugins of SpaceVim in my setup, eg. vim-which-key and vista.vim.

plugins for explorable interface and identifier highlighting
Sounds like you want vim-which-key and coc.nvim.

Tell HN: Vim users, `:x` is like `:wq` but writes only when changes are made
> even though I'm a terminal user ... I really like the discoverability of GUIs, and that's where a good GUI is unbeatable by CLI.
CLI has poor discoverability? Sure; but even on the terminal, discoverability can still be good:
A couple of nice examples of discoverability in keyboard-focused programs:
- emacs' which-key[0]; there's a vim port[1] too. This shows you (some) of the available keybindings for the next input, and a short label. So you don't have to remember what `SPC h p ...` or all the options under `SPC f...`.. but it still helps to recall that `SPC h` is for 'help' related commands, `SPC f` for file related commands.
- emacs' magit[2][3]. Magit is so good at discoverability, that I'd rate it as the best tool for using git with. I've learned more about git from using it.

A Vim Guide for Advanced Users
Agreed, that's the only time I find missing Emacs' which-key. (Looks like there is https://github.com/liuchengxu/vim-which-key for this.)

Navigate through options of Plugins
I think you mean a plugin which shows available key bindings as you type, which is what vim-which-key does.
-
Helix: Post-Modern Text Editor
Just an extension.
It is https://github.com/liuchengxu/vim-which-key if you are interested.
>Were you also able to replicate the small popups that open when you press `m`, `g`, etc.?
Yes, although 'm' has a totally different meaning in vim (placing a mark), so there is no popup for that. But it works where there are actually sensible choices, even for marks it works and shows you every available one, which is pretty cool

Vim, infamous for its steep learning curve, often leaves new users confused where to start. Today is the 10th anniversary of the infamous "How do I exit Vim" question, which made news when it first hit 1 million views.
But again, that's not a specifically vim issue, its endemic to TUIs (hence bash completions and all the other hacks to make discoverability accesible). As well, there are some projects to ameliorate this in vim like the which-key family of plugins01 and others like them.

Is my understanding of Vim and Emacs correct?
__usability features__ Emacs has a lot of great ideas for usability, some of which have been copied to vim like which-key https://github.com/folke/which-key.nvim https://github.com/liuchengxu/vim-which-key

What is the biggest barrier of entry for learning vim?
Printing cheat sheets is helpful. At some point, make your own. which-key.nvim (or vim-which-key) is a plugin I wish I had found years ago. It gives you hints of next keys available to press. It's great for beginners, and experts. It's like the ultimate real-time cheatsheet.

Cut and Paste Better
I was a fan of plugins like vim-peekaboo which shows the contents of your registers on pressing " (in normal mode) or C-r (in insert mode) so you know which register to paste. Basically it does :reg for you. This helped me to clarify whether I should use the +, ", * or 0 register.

Can you tell me how it compares to vim-peekaboo? There seems to be at least some overlapping functionality.
