I’ve tried vim on and off during college but never really had the time to fully get working with it. As it turns out the stress of two degrees is not conducive to “fun activities”. Now that I have a real job ™️, I’ve decided to finally try and use it this week full stop and I genuinely feel like a programming chad. There’s still a lot I’ll need to learn and probably overtime I’ll discover some inefficiency in how I’m using it now but it really does just feel good. I understand the hype now.

    Welcome to the club. Don’t worry too much about setting it up perfectly in your first attempt. You’re gonna rewrite your whole config every year-ish anyway. (Or is that just me? 😥) Also, try Neovim. It’ll be a drop-in replacement for your current config. But Lua is just a superior language compared to Vimscript, so you’ll have a much better performance in the future. You also get all the sweet LSP and treesitter features.
