Completely agree

(As much as I'm team *Vim) Vimscript is a mess. Oh, so you mean 'noremap' means remap this? No way! /s

The story about plugins is so true, regardless of the above. People will want you to install a plugin with 5 stars that will not play nice with anything else to do something basic like pre-save processing. Or one of the 'everything but the kitchen sink' plugins that has an end goal of giving you a Borgified Vim

And in the end I sincerely don't care, I could use the time I'm playing with this to install VSCode, or something else and have something more complete OotB




You might want to give nvim's Lua API a try. They took the opportunity to fix a lot of the semantic issues with vimscript
