Big fan and user of LunarVim (esp as a ol' vim fuddy duddy).

I especially love the community aspect of it. Chris' youtubecasts routinely draw 20+ people. Lot of genuine excitement about tools.

I understand neovim (or any other tool) requiring personal setup/configuration is not for everyone. And that is totally okay (see vscode, jetbrain etc). There are several alternatives and something for everyone out there.

I have been using LunarVim for the last couple of months. I will have to give Doom and NvChad a look as well.

One thing I appreciate about lunarvim (in its latest iteration) is that it keeps all its settings sequestered from the neovim settings, launchable as 'lvim.' If I want a simpler editing experience with all the bells and whistles, I can still just use 'nvim'

I have really been enjoying the simplicity of lunarvim. Just the basics, add what I want extra.
