Comment.nvim: Simple and powerful comment plugin for neovim. Supports commentstring, dot repeat, left-right/up-down motions, hooks, and more
Yeah, you are right but currently, most of them only support commentstring which means only single-line comments. But block comments are sometimes useful too. Also, I was using tcomment before, which IMO is the best commenting plugin for vim/neovim as it supports left-right motion comments which I haven't seen in any Lua plugin as of now. So that's why I decided to write this plugin to honor tcomment and to port all of its features to Lua :)

nerdcommenter seems to better figure out what comment syntax to use than vim-commentary, but i like vim-commentary more at everything else
That said, I switched to tcomment years ago because it better detected single va multi-line comments for me.

vim-commentary block vs line comments
Vim-commentary is great, but AFAICT, only supports one commenting style per file type. tcomment.vim supports line, inline, and block styles.

This Week In Neovim #25 – Mon Jan 2nd 2023
I don't really see the value of the plugin search-replace vim over vim-visual-star-search that search the current visual selection then the usual :%s//replacement. Can someone enlight me?

Can Vim do this obvious thing? --- i highlight text; i hit / to begin search, & editor "guesses" that i want to search for the highlighted text. --------------- How can i input the possessive apostrophe ( ’ ) different from the vertical quote sign ( ' ) that i can input from my keyboard
There is a common visual-star plugin that does something similar to what you are requesting. Visually select then hit * to search. If you want visual star like functionality without a plugin you can use a quick-n-dirty mapping like this:
