Still primitive. But I'd love to drop lazy for this once they implement a differed load.

I love lazy.nvim. It's great no doubt. But recently I felt like the author is taking an aggressive user retention behavior by re-imprementing every useful open-source community plugins out there (like snack.nvim, mini.nvim). That's a kill-zone/copycat strategy. I don't get it.



And then ditching those packages unmaintained (like snacks).

// mini.nvim is a completely different author though and doesn't have to do much with lazy


The mini.nvim maintainer is the one who did a lot of the work for pack I believe:

I believe folkes is just on vacation. Hardly ditched.


Yeah last commit on snacks was only like 6 months ago. Reasonable vacation time for an independently wealthy guy.


I'm a bit bummed too - I switched a few plugins to snacks.nvim and now I have no idea if they are going to be maintained.


Could also be done and not had a reason to update.


There are quite a few bugs and open issues, and open MRs. So done seems unlikely


I think he's pretty well placed to implent good interfaces following his paradigm, noticeably different than some other authors. I like it, so I often think his take is the best.

Snacks picker is now the best picker, for example.
