I tried Neovim Distributions so you don't have to

Video Description

🐦Twitter: https://x.com/typecraft_dev Ever since the creation of vim in 1992 by Bram Moolenaar, there have been countless attempts at packaging up vim with configurations, and libraries, to give it a little more polish. For me personally, I remember using the Janus vim distribution when I initially got into vim about 10 years ago. For the most part, these distributions have been fairly straightforward. A couple libraries here and there, a cool colorscheme, and thats about it. But lately, with the emergence of Neovim, and fancy new lua based libraries. Neovim Distributions have gotten more and more interesting. I personally don’t use a vim distribution, but I am curious about them. I guess you would say I’m “distro-curious”. There are; however, a LOT of distributions out there. So In this video I want to evaluate the 4 most popular distributions. Namely, AstroNvim, lunarvim, NVChad, and LazyVim.
