About 10 years ago, spf13-vim showed me what vim could be and changed my coding life forever. I finally ejected it and spun my own .vimrc a few years ago, but I wouldn't be where I am today without it.
It's the first I've heard of it. What am I missing out on as a (fairly vanilla) vim user?
As someone who uses VS Code as their daily driver, I'm starting to tire of it and was considering trying out emacs or vim. Would you say spf13-vim is a good starter resource (curated plugins and all) or should I look elsewhere as a beginner?
I’d recommend lunar vim
I would recommend Neovim. The plugin ecosystem is way richer due to them fully embracing Lua.
