Do you have examples of the bug/config/compat issues? I get those problems with an IDE, not Vim. IDE is always trying to lint, debug, run stuff... mix that with virtual environments and what a mess.

With vim being on every system, i don't really carry much baggage around. I have my vim settings file in cloud storage. And maybe one pluggin (NERDTree) on my main machine.

No, I never, ever look at the source of the problem nor the solution. I've used vim for 15 years, but I don't have time for this, so I don't customize anything, and if somebody has a problem, the person is responsible for fixing it.

I'm not even waiting on people with Vim problems anymore during the lectures. I just go on, they will catch up.
