I feel the proliferation of plugins has made the whole vim/neovim echo system too complicated and overwhelming to adapt for a new user. 1. Vim itself has a learning curve 2. There are many great plugins, but if they don't work for you, then unless you are an advanced user, it is impossible to get everything working without wasting a day 3. I find it weird that to get a vim plugin to work, I might have to install llvm and do a compilation and prey that all the dependencies have been satisfied
