For C, default vim comes with:

  (somewhat) intelligent complete (ccomplete)

  debugging (termdebug)

  jump to definition (ctags)

  reference finding (cscope)

  file explorer (netrw)

Oh yeah, for plain C, Vim is absolutely good enough. Virtual methods and templates drive the complexity of intellisense and refactoring up to 11. The absolute worst is when you're trying to call a method on a function argument of a templated type. The completer basically has to analyse every single callsite and present you with the intersection of all types that might be used.

clangd also works C. The same setup works for C.
