This is one thing I hate about Neovim. One year, Packer is what everyone uses, next year it's deprecated. It's like with JavaScript libraries.

I just switched to packer 3 months ago from Plug.

[-] Piatro@programming.dev 2 points 10 months ago

I'm curious, why did you switch from plug? I keep seeing new plugin managers pop up but plug has been solid for years for me.

Only reason I switched was I was redoing my neovim config in lua. Almost all the lsp examples are in lua and most lua plugins showed packer config examples. So I went with the kids path of least resistance and used what seemed most popular at the time.
