Is there something equivalent for LunarVim[0] or NvChad[1], in Vim ecosystem? I want to try something different. I learn a lot hacking around these opinionated setups.

#22I'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?
The fzf plugin is really nice for navigating through files and for code search, but not really necessary.
The editing plugins I use most heavily are probably vim-surround and vim-commentary. My development would definitely slow down without them.

No line numbers? @_@
Nope. Back in the day that would greatly interfere with copy/paste. One way or another, it's so easy to see what line number you're on and/or jump to a specific line.
can't you just yank to +? you might need the vim build with +clipboard if it's not default these days

#24Does anyone have a good from-scratch setup guide for Neovim?
Re: Vim 9.0
#25I loved vi for decades, but I don't miss it. Neovim is my current go-to but even this feels stodgy these days. Helix Editor is probably my future -- it manages to have just the right features, but with saner defaults and syntax -- but it will take a while for me to work up the nerve to let go of the investment in muscle memory.

For me, I'll say "never ending-ly" deep. I've been hacking on Vim for the last 20ish years. First plain old Vim, and in the last 3 years, NeoVim. Even this morning I started by switching out VSnips (snippet manager) for Luasnip. I am always looking at things that could make my dev life more streamlined. I don't really care so much about having a bunch of bling plugins (although I do have a nice status bar, and a file tree). I'm more looking more at the things that I do on a day to day basis. Are there existing plugins that fit those patterns? If there are, I try them out. Sometimes I have to write the functionality myself. (Want to console log the variable under my cursor, with a label? Done.)
Since this editor (and Emacs) are SO extensible, it's hard to find two long-time users with similar configs.

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 EDIT: 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 lon…
Doesn't expandtab mess with creating/editing makefiles?
