What does HackerNews think of lazy.nvim?

> Aside: It blows my mind that there are still plugin managers being invented for Vim. That's a bad sign for an editor. This shouldn't exist in userland.

I'm not sure what you're talking about… the fact that plugin managers continue to be developed for Vim and Neovim tells us there are new use cases today that didn't exist 20 years ago. Neovim isn't your undergraduate Vi/Vim from back in the day.

What's amazing is the plugin managers continue to improve, especially for Neovim.

Lazy.vim [1] is amazingly good.

Refactoring eliminated 30% of Vim's legacy code and the choice of Lua for the scripting language has unleashed a stunning amount of creativity in Neovim/Vim community.

For me, Neovim has always been faster than VS Code and that was before switching to Lazy plugin manager.

Perhaps by "frameworks" you meant plugin managers.

On vim, I was using vim-plug, which works fine with neovim too.

At some point I switched to Packer, which is written in Lua and is definitely more powerful. Now I would recommend Lazy instead: https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim

Yes, it's silly that neovim still doesn't come with built-in plugin management. Installing a plugin should require 0 lines of config.
