> Most of the plugins have docs that can be accessed via (neo)vim itself. Usually you can find all information there. This was something which took some time for me to notice. There are some plugins which have the best documentations I have ever seen, but you need to read it from the Vim. Example of coc.nvim: https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim/blob/master/doc/coc.txt and https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim/blob/master/doc/coc-con... and https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim/blob/master/doc/coc-api...

If you're looking for IDE-level language assistance, I can't help you, but since you mentioned nvim: I use regular vim with CoC / Conquer of Completion (vim plugin; LSP server, may not strictly be necessary for nvim), Solargraph (Ruby Gem; language server), and Rubocop (also a Gem) for linting. I previously/still use ALE (vim plugin; Asynchronous Lint Engine) because I haven't gotten CoC+Solargraph to play nice with Rubocop, probably due to something silly. https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim https://solargraph.org/ https://rubocop.org/ https://github.com/dense-analysis/ale My impression with all of this running under MacVim... it's plenty responsive. It can take a while for Solargraph to index everything on startup if you're working in a big project; once it loads, it's snappy. (There's probably a way to cache that startup scan.)

- I have used vim for many years (15 maybe?), and once you have passed the initial learning curve (not so terrible, after you keep learning cool stuff even after years of use), it's useful for everything with the same shortcuts. I would actually spend more time learning something else like an new IDE. At the end, I have probably saved a lot of time by sticking to (neo)vim instead of following the latest trend. - I like terminals because there is nearly nothing disturbing you, and it's usually quick to have something - there are many little features that looks like nothing but are really really useful when you use them. I'm a big fan of C-a / C-x to increment / decrement a number, coupled with https://github.com/nishigori/increment-activator it's super useful (to change a boolean, a date, a number, etc). The "." to repeat last command, the

"*" to search what is under the cursor are other great features. An occasional macro made with "q" may save a lot of time when you need to do a repetitive task, for refactoring for instance, and you can even repeat them according to some patterns with ":g". I'm not sure if those features have handy equivalents on other IDEs. - I didn't spent that much time doing my config, just adding little changes here and there when necessary, over the years I've got a environment really adapted to my taste. - I'm currently doing mostly Python, and vanilla (neo)vim is normally good enough, but I'm using Coc (https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim) for a little while, and it add a lot of helping stuff easily. Pyright + snippets are useful. - when something cool happens somewhere else, you often have somebody adapting it to vim. I can use snippets and emmet which are occasionally very useful. At the end, I don't feel the need to change, it works well, and over the time I could add some neat features to improve it (snippets, emmet, CoC, tagbar, etc). I'm not sure if changing to something like VScodium would worth the time to learn something new (and I like working with terminals).

I use coc-nvim [0] for my development environment and love it. The VS Code plugin is a great start to get used to vim movement, but eventually you'll run into some limitations that end up being slightly annoying (albeit this was a few years back and those might not exist anymore!). Most of my development is in TypeScript, which has a pretty good language server, so I don't feel like I'm really missing out on any of the "IDE" features that I get in VSCode. I am not a "pure vim" zealot, so I have a decent amount of plugins to bring my environment closer to an "IDE" than "just vim" (eg. NerdTree, fugitive, surround, sneak). I haven't really touched my dotfiles in a year or two outside a few custom keybinds for new workflows I find myself repeating. Getting good at whatever editor you choose to use for your daily development is a good investm
