Just wondering: how would you characterize the general feel of the different nvim flavours: LazyVim, Chad, Astro, etc.? I’m not thinking functionality, which plugins are included, etc., but the way they feel when one uses them.
I tried out a whole bunch of them, as per Elijah Manor’s excellent video about config switching (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkHjJlSgKZY)
I figured out LazyVim is trying its best not to look and feel like vim, with modal windows and fancy graphics and all. I didn’t like that. I can’t remember why I left Astro behind, but I finally settled on Chad, which at first I disliked because of the name, but eventually I figured out that that was the flavour for me: so many things just worked as expected, and there were so many times when I looked up something, and went: “Hm! That was quite smart, actually!”
So that’s where I’m at – and purely for “feel” reasons. So: convince me: what am I missing when I don’t use bundle B or config C?
That’s my ideal as well – the distant goal that “one of these days, I am going to sit down and fix my config the way I really want it”. But then time comes in the way, and I just copy something from somewhere…
