I feel the proliferation of plugins has made the whole vim/neovim echo system too complicated and overwhelming to adapt for a new user. 1. Vim itself has a learning curve 2. There are many great plugins, but if they don't work for you, then unless you are an advanced user, it is impossible to get everything working without wasting a day 3. I find it weird that to get a vim plugin to work, I might have to install llvm and do a compilation and prey that all the dependencies have been satisfied

What's bad is that while neovim tries to make vim much more functional with bunch if plugins, they barely stay stable.

I don't know why but even if I install same plugins with same config on various machines of same Linux distro version, some just throw errors on every launch while others tend to work and it's getting to the point of annoyance to keep using it.

It does feel like it's piling up parts hoping they don't fall apart.

Using vs code with remote config does make it feel saner.
