Vim plugins I use
I gave up trying to make Vim into an IDE. It's a text editor.  It's an excellent one, but that's what it does.  The plugins just aren't very good.  NerdTree is not a good file browser. None of the autocomplete/intellisense works very well.  It does work, but requires a lot of setup, and let's be honest, a TUI isn't the best way to interact with autocomplete dropdowns.<p>Most of the IDEs have vim like features or plugins.  It works a lot better the other way - make your IDE into Vim.
