I can totally relate to this. My approach depends on how often I'll be working on the server. For quick, one-off tasks, I stick with the system's plain vim distribution. However, if it's a machine I'll be accessing frequently, I go ahead and set up neovim with my config files.

The setup process can be tricky, as you mentioned. My config relies on several external dependencies, particularly for LSP servers. I usually ignore the dependency errors initially unless I know I'll need those specific features – then I'll invest the time to fix them properly.

Installing neovim itself can also be challenging, especially on fixed/point release operating systems. I've found using AppImage to be the most reliable solution in these cases.

I'm curious to hear how others handle this balance between convenience and functionality on remote servers.
