Nowadays almost never enter vim, because it is 100x faster than I could ever be. I use it for viewing files occasionally but reviewing edits in the claude or codex window usually works just as well. It’s the first skill I expect to decay for me (vim)
I tried nvim integration but it was half-baked and I can't even use nvim as an editor because they removed cscope support. nvi back in the day also dropped support for cscope because it wasn't vi enough. Hell, there is barely a working source repository for it. Only vim supports it out of the box. Am I the only person using cscope in 2026?
As of current day, I only use vim with no plugins to edit source code.
I knew there were more visual studio type plugins that may also fit my needs but as I said I do not use plugins. If I install "vim" and it isn't in it, I most likely am not going to use it.
A "language server" also sounds all kinds of wrong although I suppose the function is the same.
