How to Switch from VSCode to Vim/Neovim?

Hey all, ever since joining HN, I've heard so much about the advantages of terminal-based text editing, most prominently Vim and Neovim. Like most modern developers, I defaulted to being a VSCode user, however, now I want to switch to or at least try Neovim.

Do any of you all have any resource suggestions for learning to configure plugins and themes to match the functionality of VSCode (file tree, tabs, syntax highlighting, live server, etc...) and becoming more productive? The concept of self-configuration by editing Lua files or any language file is still relatively new to me.
