Agreed. Back then, I tried to get into neovim with packer and a ton of plugins, then tried AstroVim and stuff broke all the time. Went back to vscode.

I tried it again about half a year ago with a much leaner, custom lazy (plugin manager, not LazyVim) setup, and now it's my main IDE for everything except C++ (clangd sucks, sorry)

It took me less than a day to get a decent config, and now I rarely touch it (occasionally there may be a nice plugin to throw in). Config is about 2-300 lines, with LSP (rust, typescript), harpoon, oil.nvim telescope, etc. Works great.

I had the same issues with AstroVim when it was first coming together. Looks like the creator was rapidly iterating to try and make it easier to configure.

It’s now in a stable enough state that I haven’t had any issues.

What do you use for C++? I was planning to integrate clangd into my setup soon.
I've had a good experience with ccls, although to be honest I haven't really compared it with clangd so I can't say if it is actually any better!
