Perhaps by "frameworks" you meant plugin managers.

On vim, I was using vim-plug, which works fine with neovim too.

At some point I switched to Packer, which is written in Lua and is definitely more powerful. Now I would recommend Lazy instead: https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim

Yes, it's silly that neovim still doesn't come with built-in plugin management. Installing a plugin should require 0 lines of config.
