Any point in switching to packer?

  • neovim-config

    A Neovim setup using Lua (by miltonllera)

  • paq-nvim

    🌚 Neovim package manager

    Use https://github.com/savq/paq-nvim , bloat free, 287 lines. I just switched from vim-plug myself.

  • WorkOS

    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.

  • vim-plug

    :hibiscus: Minimalist Vim Plugin Manager

    So does vim-plug since 2014 https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug/issues/97 . Packers snapshot feature is actually inspired form that.

  • packer.nvim

    A use-package inspired plugin manager for Neovim. Uses native packages, supports Luarocks dependencies, written in Lua, allows for expressive config

    I think packer is great but vim-plug was simpler to deal with. I think once this PR gets completed, packer.nvim will become as easy to deal with.

  • nvim-defaults.vim

    Neovim default settings for Vim

    I am keeping my config backward compatible with Vim, so I'm only using Lua for neovim-specific stuff. If packer is compelling enough, I may make a break with Vim (and instead use sshfs or nvim scp://... to edit remote server files).

  • dotfiles

    my configuration files (by rebelot)
