I've been using vim and neovim for over 15 years with many 10s of plugins and I can probably count on one or two hands when an update has caused problems.

Also use Arch for about as long.

It's so odd to me when someone says that updates break their vim or Arch frequently.

There are so many threads about it on /r/neovim that people have started to ask just which plugins actually work together cohesively without breaking [0], something that is not asked about for VSCode. Just go through their "Needs Help" flair and you'll see lots of issues [1]. For me, I also use tens of plugins but inevitably something breaks at least once every couple of weeks.

just use lazyvim[1] and be done with it! some people takes care of the compatibility and they are probably more competent than you (i mean a newcomer who starts writing their nvim config)

Right?

I can count the number of times my vim and arch installs has broken without my intervention on no hands.

Your anecdote does not somehow counter dozens of others that clearly exist across the internet. Just because it works for you does not mean it works across the board.
