How Did Vim Become So Popular?

If one wants to do web dev on vim I strongly recommend neovim setup with coc.nvim. I know some people strongly disagree with transforming vim into and IDE, but this is a really productive setup for creating code (works like a charm for my current React project)

Personally I’ll sometimes use VSCode to browse big files or explore the codebase, but when it comes to editing them neovim with coc, fzf and a language pack is all you need.

Yep, neovim, coc and fzf has made me really productive in vim lately. After years of vim I was tempted to use VS Code until I found out about coc.

FWIW coc.nvim does not require the NeoVim fork, it also works with vanilla Vim 8.
