I would recommend against heavy-handed plugins, it's the reason I burned out on nvim and fled to helix. The thing about a breaking change in a plugin (like, oh, I don't know nvim-treesitter - likely the most installed plugin) is that you find out when you are about to do work/be productive.

Keep nvim as minimal as possible IMO.

This guy gets it.

I am also firmly in the vanilla config camp.

Neovim is very usable out of the box. Once you are invested in the interface (modal editing) then look to get 'fancy'.

I think the big config approach just tries to make the editor an IDE. You don't most of that to try it out.

Start simple.
