Discussion about the state of neovim's plugin ecosystem

• kickstart.nvim

  284 14,592 9.0 Lua

  A launch point for your personal nvim configuration

  

I was usually bombarded by questions(usually be IDE supporters, aka stupid) like "why did you want to learn this f**ing editor that is just so dumb without even a nice-looking functional project drawer by default?" I'm so glad that I can reply to them with "Shut up and kickstart.nvim, noob!" now.

• numb.nvim

  5 581 3.0 Lua

  Peek lines just when you intend

https://github.com/nacro90/numb.nvim : sure, maybe? Needs to be done in a tasteful, reliable way. Working on other things, meanwhile...

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• dial.nvim

  15 716 5.8 Lua

  enhanced increment/decrement plugin for Neovim.

https://github.com/monaqa/dial.nvim : this plugin has 181 commits. Why does this need to be maintained in core?

• neovim

  1,384 76,465 10.0 Vim Script

  Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability

  

vim-rooter (set vim cwd to project root) : discussed in https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/8610

• crater

  23 610 7.8 Rust

  Run experiments across parts of the Rust ecosystem! (by rust-lang)

  

Rust compiler developers use a tool called Crater to test potentially breaking compiler changes on all crates (Rust's name for libraries) uploaded to the official repository. If plugin stability is the issue, maybe a solution along these lines would be better than merging these plugins to Neovim's core?

• neovimcraft

  43 298 8.6 TypeScript

  website that makes it easy to find neovim plugins

This doesn't mean we want a bunch of random plugins mentioned in :help, but we do want the :help to point people to things like https://neovimcraft.com/ and document one-liners for installing a package manager.
