Weird. I built my .rc files like 10 years ago, and only edit them about twice a year to add a plugin or modify a keybinding. Not a pain to maintain at all.
How do you store them? Just backup into a dotfiles repo or what? I've been looking into dotfiles + gnu stow.

I have separate repos for SSH, Bash, VIM, and other stuff (like .inputrc).

This. I tried tmux but it required too much configuration, whereas Neovim just used my current terminal, already configured exactly the way I wanted it. I had to make a few small tweaks, like making it easier to switch between VIM and terminal panes, but overall I'm very happy with the Neovim + terminal mode setup.
One of the attractions of tmux is that you can attach/detach sessions in arbitrary terminals, which is incredibly handy when working remotely. Does Neovim provide this functionality?
Looks like what he really needs/wants is an IDE.
In fact, if you are not on Windows your OS already _IS_ an IDE. An OS is software, so it also needs to be developed. Therefore it was natural for OS developers to create their OS in a fashion that enables development. Apple and Microsoft are the only exceptions, and Apple somewhat backtracked on that path to enable developers as well. Some easy things are usually much faster to learn in a traditional IDE, since it ha…
It went nice for me with mingw/msys and selected tools for few years, but modern windows (>=vista) ugliness and death of native windows gtk distribution completely dimmed it. Msys2 may be a solution, but what a mess it is for non-packaging people. Since yesterday night I'm more than happy with mint/xfce laptop again.
I really don't need anything windows-specific, except few time-stealing games.
All this looks really great, however I think I just can't deal with the effort of maintaining these complex editor configurations anymore. I've been a multi-decade Vim user, until I switched to VSCode last year. It made me realize how much better the user experience can be for an editor. I had all kinds of complex vim configurations and plugins with special cases for linux vs. mac, server vs. desktop, GUI vs. termina…

One additional trick I often use is to look for inotify events in split tmux panes to compile/run tests on every save.

Nice article, I used tmux for a long time until I switched back to screen as it is default on most operating systems. -- Dunno is it only me but I see a weird thing going on with "new" Vim community. Everyone is starting to use it as a VSCode or Atom, trying to use hundreds plugins but most of them don't even know how to use tabs properly... I see most of this by new "neo" fans "you don't know how to make a thing in…
I personally do not have the patience for it even after giving it a try. But in my case, my 3yo laptop might just be too slow to handle all that bloat.
That would be a nice way to integrate with the surrounding environment without so many plugins, just simple programs that would run in a separate window.
Vim remote can help, neovim-remote might help even further.

Tiling Window Managers are awesome, and I totally see why people who can't use one would choose to use Tmux, but if you have the option, I would totally recommend just going with the TWM and skipping Tmux.

What are you guys doing with your configurations? I've been using vim since 2009 and tmux for the last 5 years. Initially, I had to figure out how things worked, and that took some time, but I never spent any time configuring it now except if I find a new plugin and figure out a new feature I'd like to add.
Nothing works out of the box, especially if you are trying to make two plugins work nicely with each other. If you want IDE like features i.e Autocomplete than you have to spend days to make it work and even after that it doesn't work like other "GUI" editors. + Terminal interface is very limiting to have nice plugins... I'm really glad I've switched to VSCode..
