Should I remove require('plugin').setup() from my plugins?
Definitely remove it, as it is an anti-pattern that gained popularity because individuals often copy content without careful consideration. As far as I know, it primarily originated from this Github post, which was created during the early days of Lua's growing popularity in Neovim as an attempt to reinvent the wheel.

Guide: Structuring Lua plugins
I'm pretty sure we got started down the .setup road because of this article by norcalli a few years ago. It was published when plugins started using Lua and suddenly I went from seeing one or two plugins using .setup to literally every single plugin use it.

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.

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:
- LazyVim

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.

Because null-ls.nvim & mason.nvim together do everything I wanted CoC for
