Man I just stick with the defaults on vim. I want to be able to install vim on any server I'm SSH'd into and have it all work the same way.

I do use Neovim as an IDE but thats a bit different, as lazynvim does 90% of what I need and the rest is just tiny changes that improves the experience for me. I also use AI to change my lua files simply because its faster and I'd rather focus on programming.
