I have been using LazyVim as my daily text editor/IDE on my 2014 Macbook Air for about 6 months. It is the only IDE that runs smoothly and provides good Language Server Protocol (LSP) and plugin support.
After delving into the configuration rabbit hole, I started prioritizing 'getting things done,' and LazyVim proved to be a good choice.
1. It is easier to disable a plugin than to configure it.
2. It's Vim, so it is fully customizable. For instance, I use it to write LaTeX and compile it upon saving using my preferred LaTeX compiler, thanks to LSP.
3. It's Vim, so my mental muscle are grateful.
The only aspect I feel could be improved is the AI-assisted experience. The available plugins cannot compare to Copilot X Chat on VSCode, so most of the time, I find myself switching between the editor and a browser window with a ChatGPT-like chat to ask for boilerplate code. However, I'm confident that the Neovim community will rise to the challenge (zbirenbaum/copilot.lua and jackMort/ChatGPT.nvim are good starting points).
