is it worth it for a junior developer to learn vim?

• vim-plug

I would use vim-plug to install plugins easily.

• vim-fugitive

  114 19,183 8.2 Vim Script

  fugitive.vim: A Git wrapper so awesome, it should be illegal

I'd say you could use Fugitive without knowing command-line Git, but knowing command-line Git definitely helps. I recommend learning it regardless of Vim because command-line Git is real Git. If you know how to use command-line Git you will know how to use every frontend, but if you only know one frontend that's all you know.

• neovim

  1,383 76,256 10.0 Vim Script

  Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability

  

Code completion used to be a mess before LSP because each language had its own hacky way. Now all you need is an LSP client for Vim and you will get the exact same completion, code navigation, refactoring, linting and formatting as in VSCode (because both are using the same language servers). Personally I use Neovim which ships with its own built-in LSP client.

• language-server-protocol

  121 10,657 8.7 HTML

  Defines a common protocol for language servers.
