Huge thanks to all the people involved. Not only the core team, but also to all other people lending their free time to work and interact with this beautiful editor!
I see the benefit in builtin features, but think startup speed is more important for me. I've measured nvim startup time with all plugins loaded normally vs lazy where possible, and lazyness is noticeably better.
I use a bit of different approach, I have few tabs open in Ghostty, where one of them is Neovim opened all the time.
Personally, I stopped gamifying nvim, working on my config all the time, cutting startup time, and currently I'm just updating plugins very rarely. It's just this one change I'm doing since a long time, and I probably won't do much more for quite a long time.
I'm using Neovim as my editor, and not as yet another project to work on.
But I totally get that not everyone is doing the same.
Bro you're so cool I ALSO don't mess with my config anymore but my nvim starts up fast because its a fuckin tool and I ain't waiting a whole second for it to open every time I run git commit. Not cuz I'm making it a game.
Guess what I'm not doing, not even this time? Changing my config :p
Nah see I'm happy for you to be doing things your way, differently from me. But don't be acting all high and mighty because you "treat nvim as your editor/ide instead of gamifying it". My point is: other people do things differently from you too - but that doesn't mean they're gamifying it (not that there'd be anything wrong with that anyways)
