Nowadays there many neovim distros that come setup with everything and you can learn as you go, but definitely not user-friendly still and the distros kind kill the point for me personally.
I totally understand prefering users friendly tools, but I think that fornevery software there is always some degree of granularity that makes it user unfriendly.
You asked about what the hype about vim was, I tell you: it's the granularity of the configuration it's 100% not it's user friendliness.
