Strong agree. Failure to grok what comes with Vim often results in a permenent Nerdtree pane.

I've been using Neovim for about 6 months now but as a former VS Code user I was mostly investing into the various plugins. Fairly recently I started digging deeper into vim's built-in features such as vimgrep and quickfix and they are incredibly powerful. It will take me probably another year to learn to use all these tools effectively.

In its contrib directory, git comes with jump. `git jump grep` will load grep results into quickfix.

Eh. I tried to buy into this for years but I think my poor working memory just pushes me towards having something like it open.

Maybe a little less now that I’ve become a heavy user of tabs. When I start working on a unique task I create a new tab with a few splits with the files I’m interested in. In a way tab views are how I externalize my working memory. But a file tree is still useful to me because file names don’t stick so using a command or picker to swap is often slower
