YouCompleteMe VS nvim-compe

For vim specifically, I've been using coc.nvim, which works pretty well for my needs, and I know its quite popular. Another fairly popular one is YouCompleteMe, which I had taken a look at for some other languages; but ended up just using coc as I can't justify using YCM once a year (if that) -- too much "headache" for not a lot of use, you know?

YouCompleteMe. A pretty good autocompletion plugin, though vim does have its own, somewhat useful built-in auto completion that requires more keystrokes

There are plugins to do semantic highlighting. I don't use any of them because I'm satisfied with Vim's native syntax highlighting and with tree-sitter (and also because I don't use LSPs), but searching for "Vim semantic highlighting" on DuckDuckGo yields this: https://github.com/ycm-core/YouCompleteMe. The highlighting used in its demo is too baroque for my taste, but looking at your VSCode screenshot, it looks like it would be right up your alley.

The plugin that is requiring Python3 is You Complete Me here is the link!! The Vundle link I was looking at is also in the body of my post.

I use vim for C++ coding, however it is a bit difficult to set up to make it productive. I use YouCompleteMe [0] for autocompletion, Vimspector [1] with the C++ plugin for debugging, ALE [2] for linting, along with a few other general plugins (such as NerdTREE for file view).

I didn't make a complete list of requirements :) This issue makes YCM uninteresting to me, so I've not dug too deep into it.

my favorite is YouCompleteMe.

I use https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-compe and https://github.com/simrat39/rust-tools.nvim along with the built in LSP and auto completion works really well. You will want treesitter and all that setup too.

I want to share my code for my migration from nvim-compe (deprecated) to nvim-cmp. Though, I would describe myself as an experienced Vimmer I am not very familiar with the whole Lua thing (although I really appreciate it and hope that Lua's first class citizen can compete with the elisp ecosystem^^).

Wrong, plain and simple. A total misconception.

compe.nvim

For autocomplete/intellisense: https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-compe

But nvim-compe already exists.

completion-nvim OR nvim-compe

Here's some setup idea: - packer for package manager - clangd language server - nvim-lspconfig, required for navigator.lua - navigator.lua for enchanced IDE experience. This is a like adding a sugar to coffee. - completion-nvim OR nvim-compe for enchanching autocomplete & dropdown menu suggestion. - nvim-treesitter for better syntax highlighting. - telescope.nvim for amazing extensible & configurable fuzzy finder, you can also use fzf if you want. - Any custom color scheme you want (preferably one that supports tree sitter, like aurora )
