Your life as a developer depending on what you choose as an editor.
Let's compare and contrast your experience if you go down either of these paths. Feel free to branch the conversation on to other editors but I felt like this is the most relevant debate today.

My story goes like this: very much in love with Vim in the early 2000s. When I got into Clojure ~2009, I got into Emacs, and lived in it for the next couple of years (I pretty much used it as my OS, running a Twitter client and other things in it). But modal editing is just so much more efficient, so I eventually ended up with Spacemacs (and much later Doom Emacs). Around 2015 or 2016 I got into VSCode, but the sluggishness of Electron apps drives me crazy, so I went back to the roots and now use Vim again.
My current NeoVim setup looks roughly like this (NerdTree and TagBar are toggleable and I don't have them visible most of the time):
i need to figure out how to set up tag bar. i love vim but i donβt have it set up well to be a great IDE.
Maybe you can get some inspiration from my NeoVim config:

it's actually setting up a ctags library that i've had trouble with. although looks like you are using something called universal-ctags instead of exuberant-ctags. i'll give that a try.
