My uses for vimwiki have dried up... and it makes me a little sad
I use vimwiki almost daily, but it's not professional use, just daily notes and organizing my life. I started using zim but I found I really missed writing/editing with vim. Then I found vimwiki. There are things I'm not super happy about with it. I saw that /u/lervag (love his vimtex plugin) released a wiki plugin and I was/am interested in it, but I have so much in my wiki right now that I don't want to deal with conversion issues.

I like Tabasco.
I do think VSCode is a great tool and I recommend it frequently to people, but I still want to set the record straight here. Yes, vim is obviously limited in the sense that as a CLI app it doesn't draw it's own PDF or HTML windows, that's fair. But it can remote control your favorite PDF viewer or browser for roughly the same functionality. I'm currently writing my thesis using vimtex and it's quite smooth. And all the other stuff you mention is implemented quite competently by various plugins like vim-fugitive, coc.nvim, vimspector and copilot.vim.

[VimTeX] vim on mac lags when trying to use includegraphics[]{} for attaching image to a .tex file
I am new to Vim and LaTeX, but I'm trying to learn both at the same time so I started using VimTeX to edit .tex files on MacVim. I got almost everything working now (vimtex itself, zathura, autocomplete, etc.), but one thing. And that is Vim won't respond for a while whenever I try to include an image using \includegraphics[]{} from \usepackage{graphicx}. By typing so, MacVim will request permission to access several folders but then hangs from there for like at least 10 minutes while my computer gets super hot and fans kick on loudly like it's doing something heavy in the background.
I would post an issue on the VimTeX Github page: https://github.com/lervag/vimtex/issues. That way you might also get help to disable the possible indexing. I have also needed to disable project file scanning to stop Vim from hanging, when pressing Ctrl + N to perform simple auto-complete.

Which vim plugins do not have a lua equivalent yet?
Absolutely VimTeX

Vim + LaTeX
In that blog post that is done using the vim plugin vimtex, which gives you syntax highlighting, indentation, etc, and also provides a way of automatically compiling your latex code into a PDF.

PdfAnnots in Lua
Amazing! Here is the issue #2631.
I mostly use NeoVim to write LaTeX documents and was grateful to have u/lervag's help setting up PdfAnnots so that when hovering over a citation, I can run PdfAnnots on the associated pdf for that citation. Here is the Vimscript that he came up with: ``` function PdfAnnots() abort try let infile = vimtex#context#get().handler.get_actions().entry.file catch /E121/ echo "No file found" return endtry

[HELP] Configuring Vim-tex in NvChad config
Hi, I've been trying to configure vim-tex working on the NvChad configs. I got the :VimtexCompile working and giving me output pdf. But the usual ll is giving me these errors. Also in vim {{ would expand to \left{ \right}. It's not working with NeoVim. I'm using LuaSnip with friendly-snippets with the default config in NvChad.

Rnote – An open-source vector-based drawing app
I highly recommend Rnote to anyone on Linux that misses the "hodgepodge" notetaking of apps like OneNote. It works like a dream on touchscreens and drawing tablets, with a surprising amount of configuration under the hood.
Also worth noting is Xournal, an older but similar project: https://xournalpp.github.io/

Book list for streetfighting computer scientists
I've been using Xournalpp[1] for many years, highlighting books as I read them, adding in text/hand drawn annotations in whitespaces if necessary. Unlike other PDF readers/annotators, it saves a separate file, so the original PDF is untouched. It can also export the annotated PDF as a new PDF with highlights and annotations.
Obsidian[2] also has PDF support, where you can open a markdown document side by side with the PDF to take notes as you read. I think it also lets you highlight the PDF itself.
Emacs I think has a similar feature, via plugins/org-mode(?) to the Obsidian setup.
And of course your typical PDF reader probably has support for highlighting PDFs too, but I find them clunky and they save by exporting a PDF, which can be a bit heavy-handed IMO compared to just saving the annotations/highlights as a separate file as Xournalpp does.

Combined metric for finding and decoding (digitally) handwritten text on a page?
Currently, I am trying to build a small open source NLP project for which I first find text on a page and then translate it; see the current project state here: https://github.com/PellelNitram/xournalpp_htr. The purpose of this project is to make handwritten text in Xournal++ searchable for all users.

Alternative to MS OneNote that’s truly as good? Flair is limited but more precisely is I’d like cross-platform.
On Linux, Xournal++ is the best thing that can do inking. https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp

Project management tools
Personally, I've used xournal++ for a few semesters, but I would be lying if I've said that it's anywhere near feature parity with OneNote. There's also Styluslabs Write, but it generated files that are a little difficult to manage. Obsidian is also a great choice, but it's markdown only, if you're expecting pen support
