I've tried the "nvim VSCode replacement" suite (forget which) and it is super cool but frankly I don't see it replacing VSCode. And all my years at tech companies, I never met anyone that used something like this over VSCode (or whatever intellij thing was en vogue at the time).

I never got into the vim vs nvim dogmatic debates but I'd be curious to get your thoughts...I suppose adding lua support to vim could be cool, but honestly I would prefer to keep it somewhat vanilla as a lot of the SRE shaped work that I do on cloud infra and things like that means I can't do any customization to the user environment, and I'd be stuck using completely vanilla vim anyway, so would rather have a streamlined mostly basic setup so I could avoid learning patterns and tools that I wouldn't be able to use for actual work purposes :P

Ok, I'll start the challenge. Two weeks? Cool. Are you following any sort of guide or anything or were you just saying "I will only use vim for two weeks and see how it goes"?
