LazyVim is what kept me using NeoVim. It made reproducing a usable setup much simpler.
Just curious why is "reproducing the setup" important to you? You need to install it on a lot of systems?
I don't know about OP but personally I run nvim on 3 systems (4 if you count termux on my phone) and it's very nice being able to test out a config and plugin updates on my personal systems before pulling down the changes on my work laptop so I know everything just works™
I don't actually use LazyVim, but I do use the Lazy plugin manager
Changing, upgrading hardware or OSs makes reproducibility a highly valuable feature of an IDE.
I share my dotfiles repo between my MacBook and Linux pc so anything that goes in there is run on both operating systems.
Yep, that's a good reason. I guess dot files should also be downloaded from github just like extensions. Makes this stuff a lot easier.
@jim_stark @ericjmorey personally, I'm using my neovim config on personal Mac, work Windows laptop, WSL on windows and few other Linux machines (both personal and work related). It's at least 5 devices, each with different OS. If neovim would work differently on each of them and the environment wasn't reproducible, I'd give up with neovim
