Project governance types affect the end result. While smaller projects like Helix have a few (or maybe one?) decision makers, vi/vim/nvim is such a large and decades old community with so much diversity that the proliferation of plugins - which in itself would not be bad if there wasn't so much low quality and abandonware without clear signs that that is the case - cannot be easily transformed into a solution most will agree on. Most 'the ultimate vim/nvim plugin pack' will just have its own small community, rise and fall.
- oblio 3y agoVim/Neovim need package managers or at least package repos with a great degree of curation. I really like the Sourceforge/PyPi maturity ("5 - Production/Stable") ratings. Of course they can be misleading, but at least they're a data point. I also like the idea of package bundles, but more than that, I like the idea of package bundles which are suggested by core devs, to make them a bit more official. Sort of 2nd tier of trust.
