  The Vim plugin shortlist

What is driving you to use vim instead of vscode? My sense is that the culture for vim is to have a sense of ownership and understanding of the editor. Therefore there is an expectation of being willing to discover and configure it on your own.

  133 13,264 8.8 Vim Script

  Check syntax in Vim/Neovim asynchronously and fix files, with Language Server Protocol (LSP) support

  

The panel at the bottom is your status line. There are several nice status line plugins like airline, powerline, lightline (what I use).

  emmet for vim: http://emmet.io/

It sounds like vim-emmet would be right up your alley. If you don't use a Vim package manager, install it by git cloneing it into a folder named ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/ on Unix/macOS or $HOME\vimfiles\pack\plugins\start on Windows (create it beforehand if it doesn't exist), then after you've :EmmetInstalled it into your buffer, you can use the , mapping after the ! to write the Emmet expansion for the HTML boilerplate; Emmet expansion is a very useful but quite complex feature and you can read more on it in [https://docs.emmet.io/](Emmet's documentation).
