So I started using neovim, and why it isn't for me

So I started using Neovim-- So recently, I started getting into Neovim after being convinced by some people, watching more of "theprimeagen" and seeing how cool it could be. I still vividly remember that one time I saw a co-worker navigate through scripts with only his keyboard and thought to myself -- "wow if only I could do that". My relationship with Vim has been, more or less to say, hot & cold. I started using vim back in 2018 on my first job. Installing Nerdtree, learning the hjkl  commands, learning the different shortcuts that could be done in vim. However, quickly I realized that my productivity with Vim went down way too much to be useful so I went back to VSCode shortly after. Ever since then, I'd use vim only to quickly edit files in the terminal, but never as my main editor. Fast forward to today, I decided to give vim another try. This time, with Neovim. I went fully into the Neovim universe -- installing lazy, plugins, themes, LSP, you name it
