That's pretty bizarre :-)

When the guy says you don't need anything but Vim, it makes me ask a
question. I use VSCode to author HTML because VSCode has great
zen-coding and coaches you on tags and legal CSS identifiers and
values. The time I looked at a zen-coding addon for Vim, it was a total
mess. What HTML aware zen-coding addons are all of you using these days?

There seem to be several plugins for zen-coding, and I encountered a
site that mentioned it is called 'Emmet' now/also.

Mayby this link helps:

https://vimawesome.com/plugin/emmet-vim

vimawesome.com is a good site and catalog for plugins, but since github
was marketed extensively there is some diversion and dispersion of
sites providing a clear catalog of working plugins...

A little too close to home haha, which is why I am sure he uses vim plugins everywhere at least. I've seen some of his GNU gag videos and they are out of touch by comparison.

Still worth watching his other stuff though, its funny.

i. e. autocomplete

sometimes useful, but annoying. that's why there are so many different types of it. I like ido-mode in emacs which stays out of the way, fitting into the area on the bottom of the screen. Looks like there is something like this for neovim: https://github.com/ido-nvim/ido.nvim

When writing HTML, with its begin and end tags, ids, classes, and
values, zencoding/autocomplete saves keystrokes and trips to the
Internet to look up seldom used entities. I find it an absolute
necessity for HTML.

Sure, I write C and Python in Vim, but HTML, no, I need
zencoding/autocoding.

Damn! you're committing _hard_. You do realize the video is a parody,
right?

No, no it isn't.  Vim is the way.  All else is peril.
