  Curious why you went back to lazy.nvim? I had to write some stuff to get some kind of lazy loading (now have "immediate", "vim.schedule", and "VimEnter + vim.schedule" lazy modes), plugin specs / setup functions are colocated, and using vim.packs unused `data` for config merging and it works well enough.

  Also, your treesitter auto install makes a common mistake: vim file type and treesitter grammar names don't match up. IE a .tsx file has a vim filetype of `typescriptreact` while the treesitter parser is named "tsx". You'll need something like this https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim/blob/cfdc17be3ae1..., and there's still the note that the `vim.treesitter.language.get_lang` call isn't really doing anything, since that function returns whatever is passed in if no parser matching the name has been registered. So that check is moot.

  The bloat of the neovim distributions are real and what I would suggest for anyone who is a long time vim user is to check out kickstart. https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim , specifically the modular fork https://github.com/dam9000/kickstart-modular.nvim which will give you a great (minimal) starting point

  Once I got comfortable with the basics, I started tweaking my setup. If you're curious, you can check out my Neovim config file here: joybiswas007/kickstart.nvim. I actually used a fork of the popular kickstart.nvim starter template, which you can find at nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim.

  And if you want to start with neovim I would suggest starting with starter kit(https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim). It has all basics covered with good inline documentation.

  I tried LazyVim a couple of times, but felt that I would rather go back to a simpler nvim setup, and then build it up myself and learn as I go. I have stuck and enjoyed kickstart.nvim: https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim

  It has been my starting point, and I have gradually been adding new plugins and reconfiguring existing ones.

  I did not start with a blank Neovim install, I used kickstart.nvim. It has such clear documentation which made it really easy to understand and get started. This YouTube playlist by TJ DeVries also helped me a lot to get started.
