Every time I find a neovim plugin I go to the author's dotfiles repository on GitHub and find the most absurd setup with dozens of other plugins I've never heard about, all used very casually, as if everything was common and fine. Neovim also has a new package manager that is treated by everybody as the default every two months.

"What is this package manager? I've never heard of it, I thought the latest one was ..., which I was already not using."

Then I click on it and it has like 7 thousands GitHub stars.

I ended up using a package manager because I was too lazy to setup everything myself.

You mean Lazy.nvim? It became popular quickly because it’s by folke.

The universe is conspireing to keep you less productive because you are too productive. You want hack your way to the moon or something ?

I use plain vim. You can accomplish most things with vim internals and the right vimrc.

But plugins are just some lines on "the right vimrc".

I ended up falling back to [AstroNvim](https://astronvim.com/). Fully fledged IDE which I only adjust if needed.

Sabe que no Brasil,o governo estar com um projeto de lei para intensificar à censura?

Curious about your thoughts on emacs? I use vim (evil/doom) inside emacs and quite like it. Then again I run a whole Debian virtual box inside windows and forward X to the host just for my editor so don’t listen to me..

Dicking with plugins and package managers wasn't giving me enough churn; I was still too productive, so I switched to kakoune. After I'd gotten used to it, it was too much like emacs, relying heavily on chording, so I switched to helix. Helix is mostly vi with multiple selection ranges and a self-consistent model. And no plugins, if you don't count external LSP servers.
