Awesome. Thanks for sharing. I've been using vim for 6 months, but I still feel like a n00b. Looking forward to checking this out. I started my vim experience using Janus But I didn't understand how anything worked or why any of the plugins were there. That led me to starting from scratch (I forked my cofounder's dotfiles) and now I feel like I know my vim config waaaay better. If you've been using janus, I'd highly…

Keep at it, I've been using vim for 15 years and I also still feel like a noob.

It's not available for me in Indonesia with this message: This title is not available for customers from your location in: Asia & Pacific What will it cost when it's released later?

I just bought it and I'm from India.

I wound up doing the same thing (not with Janus, but with a massive forked .vimrc).

One day I was SSH'd into a remote server and vim'd a directory by accident and I discovered Netrw. It wasn't the same as NERDTree, but it was good enough for me to get rid of that plugin. Eventually I just learned to enjoy the defaults with minor tweaks. Today my vimrc[1] is [1]: https://github.com/mgirouard/Dots/blob/master/.vimrc
