> The video is a little outdated in that some parts don't match with how the configuration is set up now

This is exactly my problem any time I try and get in to Vim/Emacs/NeoVim, even when trying some pre built config like Doom Emacs, LunarVim etc. Everybody has some bespoke setup so following along from a tutorial is a fucking nightmare because inevitably something will be out of date, or they'll be using a different package for say the file browser that makes it incompatible with the one you're using that you picked up from the previous tutorial. Or they'll be using a different package manager entirely, of which a new one seems to come out every year. Or you're fucking around trying to get LSP to work again because something has broke it. Or you'll try installing some kind of manager to let you switch between the different premade versions such as Doom Emacs and SpaceMacs and that won't work properly because Doom has been updated since it was written etc. It's just a never ending torrent of pain. It's the editor equivalent of the JavaScript ecosystem where there's some new shiny half baked bullshit every week. It's so much easier to just use VSCode or Jetbrains and have a consistent and reliable experience every time.

I think that's why kickstart is good to start out with, despite the video being a little outdated it was still easy to reason with. I haven't run into those issues describe but it's probably because I'm still newer to the ecosystem.
