Why I'm Dropping These Neovim Plugins (Less Is More)

When I first switched to Neovim, I went plugin-crazy. I tried to recreate VS Code inside Vim, adding every plugin I could find. It was fun, but also fragile since every plugin is another thing to configure, maintain, and eventually debug. Over time I realized Neovim doesn't need to be VS Code. Out of the box it's already powerful and the last 20% of "extra efficiency" isn't always worth the dependency. So lately I've been simplifying my config and cutting back. In this video I'll walk through a few plugins I stopped using, why I ditched them, and how my workflow has changed as a result. 🔗 Links SQL Video:    • Run SQL in Vim Without Plugins   My dotfiles: https://github.com/hendrikmi/dotfiles ⌛ Timestamps: 00:00 My new philosophy 00:45 AI Plugins 01:49 Harpoon 02:31 Flash/Hop/Leap 03:11 Bufferline 03:48 Aerial 04:17 Dashboard Plugins 04:45 Two plugins I'm still debating (Neotree and Dadbod) 06:28 Subscribe if you are cool.
