What does HackerNews think of nvim-dap-ui?

>and still not satisfied with the results

One can never be satisfied with the results. "There is no endgame", right?

1-2 hours is more than enough to get to work with autocompletion, syntax, filesystem explorer and a few more plugins for your convenience.

>coming from another IDE and trying to replicate something

This. Some people try to replicate IDEA or something like that. Obviously you can spend weeks trying to do this

Hell, configuring https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap + https://github.com/rcarriga/nvim-dap-ui can take a week alone I guess.

I'm surprised nvim-dap-ui wasn't mentioned yet. It still has less features than vimspector, but personally I prefer the nvim-dap ecosystem. No memory viewer is a bummer though.

if you are using neovim, nvim-dap has support for debug adapters, which includes gdb in addition to several other languages (python, nodejs, java etc). Here [1] are available debug adapters.

It is noteable that nvim-dap just provides support for debug adapters, if you are looking for nice UI, there are other plugins such as nvim-dap-ui [2].

In vim land, there is vimspector. I have not used vimspector myself, but from what I hear, it is slower than nvim-dap.
