I’ve tried out a few distros for vim and emacs over the years and usually drop them after a few hours of trying. But I gotta say I’m really enjoying LazyVim. It’s config layering system makes tweaking any specific plugin settings very easy, and it’s based on the “lazy.nvim” plugin manager that most plugins feature first in their README intros these days. That means there’s less a feeling of doing things “the normal way” vs “the weird distro specific way” that I experienced with DOOM EMacs and SpaceVim.

It’s definitely still a kitchen sink, lots of stuff that I wouldn’t configure on my own, but surprisingly discoverable via a popup that shows available keyboard shortcuts that appears after you type LEADER and wait a moment.

It’s also super fast to start up, putting most destros out there especially EMacs ones to shame.

The main downside is it encourages you to spread out your config in multiple Lua files, and overall learn and use more Lua stuff. But I think it’s worth the price.

Last time I tried and iirc, lazyvim would print out all sorts of various errors within seconds of using it for very basic things, which is enough for me to give up on most tools unless they are forced onto me. That said I have yet to find a proper code editor for my needs which is not exactly dev ; so far I settle with plain vim.

It works great for me with no random errors so far, with these dependency hashes: https://github.com/justjake/Dotfiles/blob/new/config/nvim/la...
