╭── Why adding another plugin to (neo)vim?

With this powerful tool at your fingertips, you’ll be able to quickly and easily detect all kinds of issues in your code. Whether you’re working on a large project with hundreds of files or just a small script, dmerejkowsky/vim-ale has got you covered.

Also, this plugin is easy to use. Simply install it into (neo)vim and let it do the rest. It automatically checks your code as you type, highlighting any errors or warnings that it finds. But that’s not all - it also provides suggestions for how to fix these issues. You’ll never have to waste time searching through documentation or forums to figure out how to correct a problem again. This plugin does all the heavy lifting for you.

In summary, if you’re a Vim user looking to streamline your coding process and catch errors before they become bigger problems, then dmerejkowsky/vim-ale is definitely worth checking out.

╭── Should I care if I’m already using shellcheck?

While both dmerejkowsky/vim-ale and shellcheck are designed to detect and correct issues in your code, they have some key differences that might make one a better fit for your needs.

One of the biggest advantages of dmerejkowsky/vim-ale is its seamless integration with (neo)vim. This means you can identify and fix errors as you type, without ever leaving your coding environment. With shellcheck, on the other hand, you need to run it from the command line or integrate it into your build process.

Also, if you’re someone who likes to customize their tools, there are plenty of configuration options available, so you can fine-tune the plugin to meet your specific needs. From choosing which linters to use to adjusting how errors are displayed, you have complete control. With shellcheck, you’re limited to the default options, which may not always be ideal for your particular codebase.

In terms of performance, while both plugins are relatively fast, dmerejkowsky/vim-ale has been shown to be more efficient when dealing with larger projects or complex codebases. It can handle multiple languages and file types with ease, making it a great choice for developers working on diverse projects.

Of course, shellcheck might be a better fit if you’re working solely in bash scripts where it’s likely to provide more comprehensive feedback.
