From JetBrains to VSCode to NVIM: Why I Made the Switch
Out of the box it offers almost nothing, but after 7 years of development I like that. I love the idea of customizing to my needs my IDE, so with the help of kickstart.nvim I have with 1 minute of installing and 10 extra minutes of configuration a complete IDE.

Using a venv with Neovim's Python LSP
I recently started coding with Neovim using kickstart.nvim as the template for my editor configuration. I downloaded the python-lsp-server package using Mason, but I was disappointed to discover that the IntelliSense on my third party dependencies didn't work. The LSP was resolving to my global Python installation, which did not have the packages from my virtual environment (venv) installed.

I Learned Neovim In A Weekend
First thing I did was get kickstart.nvim. I had heard it was extremely useful (and it was). It was very easy to install. I start reading through init.lua, and it told me to run :Tutor, which is almost 1,000 lines of learning how to use Neovim, to which I obviously ran that command and started reading. Obviously, it takes a bit of time to complete :Tutor, but it's well worth it. "hjkl" wasn't too hard to get used to, also repeating motions by using numbers was useful, such as using '5dd' to delete 5 lines. I highly suggest reading this file, especially since I didn't really know about the different modes, which is probably why I failed to switch the other times. You would start writing your code, then Neovim would say that it can't find that command, you would accidently type an i and then start typing, and so on, it was a nightmare. For those that don't know the modes, here is each mode and how to get between them.

Neovide – a simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform GUI for Neovim
I also suggest against using distributions. Instead of learning how to configure nvim itself you're learning to configure that specific distro.
I suggest to take someone's lua config and start from there. Kickstart.nvim is a good one: https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim
- It’s been an hour and I have made no progress

Do I need NeoVIM?
1) the option I wouldn’t chose, use Kickstarter. It’s a minimal starter config, using a single init.lua that helps you build a config slowly. https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim

ready to use neovim for web development (frontend) - beginners
I highly recommend Lazyvim for if you want to have a VSCode (ish) like experience that still exposes you to configuring in Lua. Or Kickstart.nvim if you want a more "from scratch" experience

Search commands slow in neovim but fast in vim
In case it is helpful, I am using kickstart.nvim with only minor modifications.

Kickstart.emacs Starter kit for Gnu Emacs
One of the project goals is to become something like kickstart.nvim. Or, to be a reference if someone doesn't know how to do something.

Do I need NeoVIM?
https://github.com/hrsh7th/nvim-cmp This is an autocompletion engine https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter This allows NeoVim to install parsing scripts so NeoVim can do things like code highlighting. https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim Not strictly necessary, but allows you to access a repo of LSP, install them, and configure them for without you actively messing about in config files. https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig Also not strictly necessary, but vastly simplifies LSP setup. https://github.com/williamboman/mason-lspconfig.nvim This lets the above two plugins talk to each other more easily.

Do I need a plugin manager ?
I'm using mason.nvim to install my dependencies, I've this snippet at nvim/plugin/mason.lua so after cloning my dotfiles I can just run:
-
Mason can't install gopls (or gofumpt, or goimports)
The suggestion from this thread fixed it for me. I just needed to unset GOOS and GOARCH then restart neovim.

Neovim documentation is pretty bad
For instance, I'm trying to install rust-analyzer in lazyvim from https://github.com/williamboman/mason.nvim. The installation instructions are:

How do you enable semantic highlighting for Python?
I have pyright installed via mason which apparently support "semantic token highlighting" but have been having a hard time getting these colors to show up in a buffer. It seems Neovim has changed how it handles semantic highlighting a few times so there's still some conflicting information online. It's hard to know what's current and what's not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

language server not installed or missing from path
Use mason to install the language servers you want.

Why is nobody using CoC anymore?
Because null-ls.nvim & mason.nvim together do everything I wanted CoC for
