How to Do 90% of What Plugins Do (With Just Vim)
thoughtbot · 10 recommenders · 10 months
A thoughtbot meetup talk by Max Cantor on getting most of what popular plugins provide using only built-in Vim features. It covers autocomplete, file jumping, filesystem navigation, build integration and snippets, with slides and a vimrc available.
Why Hacker News readers recommend it: HN treats it as the canonical talk for the case that vanilla Vim goes a long way and plugin dependencies are a burden.
