Some constructive criticism for the hard working plugin maintainers of the Neovim ecosystem

• LunarVim

  272 17,463 7.6 Lua

  🌙 LunarVim is an IDE layer for Neovim. Completely free and community driven.

  

I guess it's less criticism and more commentary, but I don't think I'm alone and there seems to be a huge amount of support for a better out-of-the-box experience in Neovim and it's plugins in general (see: approx 10k stars on projects like Lunar and NvChad).

• NvChad

  187 22,887 8.8 Lua

  Blazing fast Neovim config providing solid defaults and a beautiful UI, enhancing your neovim experience.

• 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.

  

• coc-ccls

  53 25 10.0 TypeScript

  CCLS (C/C++) extension for coc.nvim

And that is why I strictly use CoC.nvim

• vim-config

  1 1 0.0 Lua

  GUI to help configure (neo)vim (by teto)

my conviction is we just need a gui where you can click "enable completion" / "add source" etc and then it would generate an init.generated.vim one can source. I had started this in a train https://github.com/teto/vim-config but as I wouldn't use it and was sure someone would do it, I gave up :) I hope someone can see the benefit of this. You could search for neovim plugins via https://luarocks.org/labels/neovim and have luarocks automatically install dependencies (https://teto.github.io/posts/2022-06-22-neovim-plugin-luarocks-2.html) . We will get there.

• lsp-zero.nvim

  130 3,502 9.3 Lua

  A starting point to setup some lsp related features in neovim.

lsp-zero

• dotfiles

  14 7 8.9 Lua

Thats how it works. You could reduce the amount of plugins or document them for quick lookup. I do this extensively in my dotfiles https://github.com/matu3ba/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/nvim/lua/my_packer.lua

• null-ls.nvim

  164 3,554 0.0 Lua

  Discontinued Use Neovim as a language server to inject LSP diagnostics, code actions, and more via Lua.

Some plugins offers just this: defaults. Like https://github.com/jose-elias-alvarez/null-ls.nvim for example. Great tools with great buildins.

• InfluxDB

• neorg

  90 5,822 9.6 Lua

  Modernity meets insane extensibility. The future of organizing your life in Neovim.

  

PS: Not trying to say something like "git gud", having sane defaults is a good thing, though some times there is no such thing as "default" or at least the author of a plugin thinks that there shouldn't be a "default" version of config. (see https://github.com/nvim-neorg/neorg at its "You've installed Neorg - great! Now you have to configure it. By default, Neorg does nothing, and gives you nothing. You must tell it what you care about!")
