    Hello! I am setting up Neovim as an IDE and so far I have about everything I need except for a plugin to automatically close my quotes, braces, brackets etc. I know that nvim-autopairs is pretty much the most popular, at least in this community, but there are more minimal alternatives, such as m4xshen/autoclose.nvim (which is an order of magnitude less code). My needs are pretty simple and I don't (think) I really want anything fancy as far as pair completion is concerned. People who have tried both or use nvim-autopairs/other plugins, why do you use the plugin you use and what does it do that others don't? Please feel free to tell me your opinions or whatever you think saves you time/effort (I'm sure there are a lot of good ideas I haven't heard of).
