Vanilla vim without any extension ? Otherwise you're just reimplementing your own IDE by hand in your vim config



Obviously extensions.

And it's not "reimplementing" the whole IDE, it's choosing and configuring parts to work just the way you want it to, and it's usually done in a handful of lines.


a handful of lines + the additional processes that do the parsing behind the scene. Just because it's split across multiple processes doesn't not make it an IDE.


It's 8 lines of config, more than half of which are cosmetic customizations for colorblindness accessibility that I'd need with an IDE anyway.
