KNOWN ISSUES

• when using airblade/vim-rooter: Changes Vim working directory to project root.( https://github.com/airblade/vim-rooter ) - doesn't work well with nerdtree because it unsets autochdir and because of that, I can't open NerdTree in the VCS root on vim start.

TODO

I started with vim but now, I'm using neovim... the config has bloated quite a bit and its compatibility with vim is broken. I might try at some point in the future to fix that.

neovim has tree-sitter support, native lua support, more exclusive plugins, client-server architecture, better out-of-the-box config, several other optimisations (e.g. better file change detection (you can use this workaround ) ), it has an inbuilt library 'Checkhealth' to see if everything's installed properly or not. It has more robust async support (RPC API), native lsp support and a better dap support, embedded terminal support, floating windows etc. a few of which eventually found its ways to vim but, apparently nvim does them better.

You can embed nvim into other editors (e.g. vscode-neovim, firenvim ), no more half-baked vim emulations and more work is being done on this and more.
