Thank you for taking the time to read it and also for sharing that video.

Yep, I'm cowardly running away from .vimrc, I admit 😔

My current vim config has 700+ lines of code (~786), uses 25 plugins (26 if you count the plugin manager itself), depends on 4 external commands (5 if you would like to count tmux), and it took me like 14 months to get it in the "right state" to be able to use it for work. I cannot judge anyone who wants to keep using their favorite IDE/text editor with a vim emulation plugin. It is safe to say you made the right decision.
