Re: Vim 9.0
#3I'm curious how many users are now using vim versus neovim.
I switched a few years ago,and ever since Lua plugin support the Neovim ecosystem is thriving.

#4I'm curious:
- How deep a rabbit hole do most people go down when setting up their vim / neovim environment?
Apart from setting up a preferred color and language specific tab spacing and highlighting, I don't need more, but I've seen some pretty fancy setups.
Out of the different plugins, which would you never operate without?

Definitely ALE. Being able to use LSPs is the only reason I haven't switched.

I've been using vi/vim on a near daily basis for 34 years now and this is the only thing I put in ~/.vimrc:
set tabstop=4
set expandtab
set shiftwidth=4 " or 2 or whatever
set shiftround
syntax on
Just for some fun archeology, I google searched on the 3rd line, 'set shiftwidth=4 " or 2 or whatever' because I very dimly recall copying most of my standard set (minus the syntax on bit) from someone else a long long time ago. This was the only hit I found:

Having gone from a stock vim to a highly modified vim and back again, here are some plugins that I find really boost my productivity:
- neoterm, for opening a REPL in a split buffer and quickly sending chunks of lines to the REPL (https://github.com/kassio/neoterm)
- fzf for faster buffer and file navigation (https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim)
- vim fugitive for good git integration (https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive)
- some other tpope plugins (surround, unimpared, commentary, vinegar)

This comment thread on the previous conversation has a lot of good replies:

A few highlights:
* "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
* People don't like Lua (or just simply prefer VimScript)
* Divergence over time means that they are not still compatible.
