there is an org mode for vim, how good is it? https://github.com/jceb/vim-orgmode

(also i never understood why collapsible nested lists make such a big difference)



I'll just say I opted to write my own org-mode syntax file(for syntax highlighting), file linking and time tracking for Vim instead of using the vim-orgmode plugin. That's enough for my personal org-mode based wiki and some organisational tasks.

The vim-orgmode plugin's performance was absolutely abyssmal when I last tried to use it, with input delays above a full second in some situations.


Not that great in my experience, good enough to read and navigate through org files, but lacks many features and has performance issues. vimwiki https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki is probably the best note-taking plugin for vim.


I've been using vimwiki daily for the past month after I saw it mentioned here on HN. It's really changed a lot and has replaced the method I had before that involved VScode markdown snippets. It's nice to be able to directly link between my diary / task lists and my general knowledge base that contains code snippets and information about my projects, etc.


i am still trying to figure: how is that any better than having the stuff as indented text, or writing it downs as markdown?
