Hmm? What about LunarVim?

If you add more than a handful of plugins in any of these IDE layers for Neovim, like LunarVim, LazyVim, AstroNvim, &c., it can slow things down to an unacceptable level quickly.

That really depends. On the iTerm2 terminal? Yes, sometimes. On Alacritty and Rio? Nope, it's very snappy.

No need to rely on your terminal to provide performance. LunarVim is very slow even though I use Alacritty, it was the main reason I stopped using it and switched to LazyVim.

If I'm being quite honest, I think LazyVim is the more polished project. I may end up switching to that; I've been impressed by what I've seen so far (as well as using the lazy.nvim package manager).

Some plugins can make it crawl, yes.

'Wansmer/symbol-usage.nvim' is one of them. I found that I didn't really need it as much so disabled it and LunarVim became much snappier.

Yes, should have qualified it a little more by adding that it does depend very much on which plugins are currently loaded.
