Neovim setup that doesn't change so much
client.lua server.lua

vimscript over lua
I have a configuration that is mostly Vim script. This might be an unpopular opinion, but Vim script actually a good language for what it was designed for. That being a configuration language for a text editor.

Which structure of neovim config files do you prefer? (Diagrams incluced)
Here it is: https://gitlab.com/HiPhish/nvim-config
- debugpy.nvim: Command and API frontend to nvim-dap and Debugpy (debugging Python)

nvim-dap - run programm with parameter
I have written my own :Debugpy command which lets me call the command like :Debugpy module foo.bar herp derp. I haven't made it into a plugin yet, it still needs a bit more polish to be of general use, but it's good enough for everyday use to me. You can find the code here, but as I said, it's really just written for myself, the usefulness might vary for others: https://gitlab.com/HiPhish/nvim-config/-/blob/master/plugin/debugpy.vim

vimscript over lua
As for writing plugins though, Lua beats Vim script any time of the day. I wrote info.vim back in the early days and it was a major pain to write in Vim script. If I had to redo it today I would 100% write it in Lua.

plugin annoncement - nvlime
Yeah, mapping a function instead of a mapping is even better. I just don't like if a predefined mapping is hard to remember or (even worse) conflicts with one of my existing mappings. Personally I like it the way Neovim's LSP client does it: you get a Lua (or Vim script) API that you can map yourself. In my info.vim I provide the commands :InfoNext, :InfoPrev and :InfoUp, but I also have a code snippet of reasonable default bindings in my README that people can just copy-past into their configuration. If they disagree with my defaults they can then change that snippet instead of having to fight my plugin to scrub away the defaults.

sidebar.nvim - A generic and modular lua sidebar
info.vim (my own)

Man pages in color, with links
I think we're all aware of the Man plugin, What I really want is info.vim being distributed by default aswell.

Future plans for Autotools
A wiki is not adequate documentation and I hate this trend of making documentation HTML only. Not everyone uses or even can use a web browser. GNU software has this great tool called Texinfo which lets you write a proper book-sized documentation with proper table of contents, chapters, and indexes. You can generate HTML, PDF, and most importantly info files. You can read info files in your terminal, in Emacs, or even in Vim (wrote a plugin for that).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing nvim-config and info.vim you can also consider the following projects:
nvim-dap - Debug Adapter Protocol client implementation for Neovim
vlime - A Common Lisp dev environment for Vim (and Neovim)
vinfo - Vim info documentation reader, lets you read info pages within Vim or start it from the shell prompt (instead of Info)
sidebar.nvim - A generic and modular lua sidebar for Neovim
Vim - The official Vim repository
neovim - Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability
nvim-metals - A Metals plugin for Neovim
nvlime - A Common Lisp development environment for Neovim
rofi - Rofi: A window switcher, application launcher and dmenu replacement
bat - A cat(1) clone with wings.
orgmode - Orgmode clone written in Lua for Neovim 0.9+.
vim-dirvish - Directory viewer for Vim :zap:
