Vim/N(eo)Vim opinions?
Is it just me or are there a lot of improvement and much more users these days?
Also, how long is your .vimrc and are you concerned to loose it?
Mine is approaching 2000 lines (with comments).
I keep a git backup of all my config files but i have this fear that everything will break one day.
Either because of updates or GitHub goes down and all my plugins break. Thoughts?
If you think its gonna break, make another backup of the backup.

My .vimrc is only about 20-30 lines and I use vim mainly for C and C++ development. What could you possibly be doing to have need for a 2000 line .vimrc?

Plugins/Documentation for them.
I use Vim for everything and wanted a place that's convenient to document all of it, so i put it into the .vimrc
Since vim-plug allows contextual plugin management i currently can edit everything from C/++, SQL,
Python, Markdown, XML or just regular E-Mails in vim.
Why use something else?
However those exact plugins might break on me one day, even though they haven't done it yet..
Still there is this fear i can't get rid off that they might.

Because you get more powerful buffer editing tools/features at your disposal which are much more easily configurable with emacs?
Especially, too, if you were to work with a lisp dialect of some sort, vim just shits itself.

Are you writing a story in your rc? Mine is 55 lines and it includes some plugin configuration, keybindings and appearance customization.
What happened to Yzis?
