Been using this for a long time now. I like my config to be minimal and this release doesn't require much to do anything. I haven't had a package manger, nvim-lspconfig and for a while I had no nvim-treesitter but that was more trouble than it was worth at the time. So my config is more like what you'd find in an IDE, setting up bindings and language support.

Have ya given kickstart.nvim a check?
Little off topic, but why is Neovim at version 0.x and not version 1.x?
there's a roadmap to v1.
Thanks for the hint. I was not aware of this before. Looking at https://neovim.io/roadmap/ and Prepare for version 1.0 #20451. Alright then it makes sense, as they are working towards specific goals to reach that state. Nice.
I tried neovim on windows. It is not quite the same experience. Especially neotree is very buggy
I want to use it on my work PC (Windows) but its so slow its basically unusable. So I use VS with a Vim plugin.
To what do you compare? The experience Windows vs Linux?
Yes, Neovim on Windos vs. Neovim on Linux
