You don't seem to be getting the point. Vim is for code. Typora is for documents. They are different tools tailored specifically for different jobs. You wouldn't use microsoft word to write code, would you?

If you like vim and want to use it for markdown, that's great. I personally like a more specialized tool. Then again, I'm also a writer and spend more time in that mode than most programmers. If you spend all your time programming and only occasionally need to write a markdown document, then I can see the appeal of the setup you're describing.

I spend about 50% of my time programming and 50% writing. I often deal with 300,000+ word markdown files because part of what I do for a living is write technical courses. I've written about a million words of markdown over the last ~5 years.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ different strokes for different folks, man. Most of what I write is fiction. Some of that fiction also serves as functional requirement documents. :D
