    Discontinued A community-driven modular vim/neovim distribution - The ultimate vimrc

    It's kind of a double-sided sword for some people as it can be daunting to customize from scratch and also, it could be a rewarding and pleasurable experience of having the personalized experience. With the number of pLugins, custom vimrc and color schemes, etc Vim is very prone to personalization. It is Open Source, so we also have it's distributions such as SpaceVim, SPF-13, etc. Some more distribution can be found here. Some Distribution is pref-configured with some basic stuff and is ready to use, so they are quite beginner-friendly and introduce them to Vim in a better way. NeoVim which is an evolution of Vim written in Lua is much more powerful and provides even more customization keeping the basic key-bindings in mind. Editing Vimrc is quite an amazing and intuitive experience as it allows to add functionality or enhance the existing features in Vim.
