For a community that prides itself on "one small tool for a specific purpose," people sure like to use VIM for a thousand different purposes by hacking plugins. This used to be derided as the microsoft way decades ago.
For writing prose, I use an app specifically designed for writing prose: Scrivener. See elsewhere saying "you should change how you write in order to use version control when writing prose." Totally forgetting that there's been a version control for prose for literal decades: tracking changes in a word processor.
Do you want to process words? Use a word processor. Not a text editor. Writing prose isn't editing text.
