Top 12 Lua neovim-setup Projects

NvChad
Blazing fast Neovim framework providing solid defaults and a beautiful UI, enhancing your neovim experience.
Neovim is my daily driver for editing code and configuration files. Combined with NvChad, it becomes a fast, modern IDE with smart defaults, LSP support, treesitter syntax highlighting, and a beautiful UI. I love how customizable it is. I can tweak everything from keybindings to themes, making it fit my exact workflow. Even though it's my secondary code editor, but No.1 in CLI.

I similarly thank the stars I ran into AstroNVim, which itself is based on LazyVim. Out of the box it has a lot of well integrated/just works pieces. It has a bunch of leader key things setup, and, crucially, a little visual navigator at the bottom of the screen. Going from powerful but invisible to having something I could see was such a help! I'd compare it to moving from tmux to zellij but I'm a pretty happy tmux user. https://astronvim.com/
What really seals the AstroNVim deal for me though is the community packs. People have very thoughtfully integrated support for a huge range of nvim plugins. And it's super easy to install, and they often fit in nicely to the existing out of box experience of nvim. https://github.com/AstroNvim/astrocommunity
