Thanks for this, this is a really great article and I love it when references are included!

I tried to use Vim as my main editor but couldn't find a good flow with Flutter. I mostly use VS Code with the Vim extension, I am always striving for ways to become more keyboard driven and improve my Vim knowledge.

Yup. Many IDEs' Vim extensions are great. They are not perfect, but for everyday purposes, plugins are more than enough to help develop Vim muscle!

I personally never developed with Flutter, so I can't help much. If you ever make the jump to use vim/neovim directly (not through IDE extensions), I think something like github.com/iamcco/coc-flutter might be a good place to start. Plus github.com/sheerun/vim-polyglot has dart support (I use vim-polyglot for all my language needs).

Best of luck!
