Have used Neovim 0.5 for quite some time now. It has been an incredible experience and I cannot see myself moving away. Prior to this I was using coc.nvim. Over the last many months, the Neovim community has certainly lowered the barrier to entry configuring LSP. There were a few times I spent way too many hours attempting to get everything playing well together. The installation process has become much more streamlined and beginner friendly.

Why has it been incredible?
The native LSP support is solid (auto-completion, diagnostic feedback) and there are a wide variety of plugin options to improve the experience e.g. trouble.nvim. Also, Treesitter syntax highlighting makes a notable difference in my experience. The further possibilities with TS are outlined in this thread. Plus the community has shown that Lua support is helping building a solid ecosystem surrounding the new native features. It's really on a different level from YCM, coc, ALE..
