I came from coc.nvim and switched to the native LSP when it was released on nightly. For a while I was using VSCode and came back to nvim and switched back to coc.nvim.

I found that the native LSP's community to be too quickly changing. Plugins that were necessary earlier weren't, while new necessary plugins came into play. But, coc.nvim was steady chugging along and my old settings file worked out of the box.

I'm also not a huge fan of just the sheer amount of plugins that use the LSP. It seems like every plugin has go-to functionality.

Yeah autocompletions are a mess with native LSP. In the last 6 months or so there have been ~3 different plugins around to support autocompletion, and each one fell into unmaintained or unused status. I hope eventually there is a stable, native solution for it.

nvim-cmp has been the dominant plugin for about a year now, and I keep the lspconfig wiki (mostly) up to date +/- a few days if anything changes

Same for me, coc.nvim community is rock solid whereas native LSP requires more configuration and is much less reliable version-to-version

Source? We have an extremely extensive test suite for the built-in client that must pass for every merge, and we currently have ~30 open issues on the issue tracker (with a good chunk of those being feature requests).

Yeah I can second this. I've been using native LSP since 0.5 nightly and it's been nothing but solid. The only thing that occasionally gave me issues were tree-sitter crashes (unrelated to LSP), but even those seem to have all been fixed by now.
