Just wanted to say thank you. I’ll be digging into this more over the next few days. I recently tried to spruce up my Vim config and get a better workflow going as I realised that I was doing a lot of tasks very mechanically or have got stuck in a rut doing things a certain way that’s less than optimal.

I had a look around for some direction but didn’t find much Elixir specific advice, so your post is very timely and very welcome!

I use GitHub - junegunn/vim-plug: 🌺 Minimalist Vim Plugin Manager · GitHub.

The author has a lot of great plugins, plus the name is plug. How can you not like that?!

What’s nice is you can install and remove plugins really easily but when it comes to updating, you can choose which commits to deny (you get a full changelog of commits for each plugin once the update command finishes running). Also if you do nothing, it just accepts them all (which is what I do 99.9% of the time).

Remember, kids… Pandajail is where pandas are sent when you use someone else’s dotfiles .

Spacemacs is just set of dotfiles that is created by other people. Your configuration should be yours and yours only. So in general you can count me as a human that do not like neither Spacemacs nor SpaceVim.

This is one of the reason. Another reason is that I started using Vim years ago (~7 I think) and it just fitted me and I do not see any reason to change it.
