After 13 years of using Vim, the author embarked on a quest to set all 376 configuration options, hoping to achieve mastery. The journey revealed many insights: how to use external commands with buffers, the complexity of Vim's file-writing mechanism, the usefulness of the command-line window, digraphs for special characters, and differences between Vim and Neovim.
