The *map command are recursive which can cause issues with plugins that map to the same keys.
Here is an example:
nmap x j # Your mapping
nnoremap j x # Plugin mapping
You want x to move the cursor down a line but the plugin maps j to delete one character.
Now when you press x to move down one line you end up deleting a character.
nnoremap x j # Your mapping
nnoremap j x # Plugin mapping
Now both mappings work.
It is much better to use nnoremap, inoremap, vnoremap to map your keys.
