To get Neovim kind of things to be anywhere near usable for modern day development work…

Or you can just use one of several distributions that are pre-configured; most of these are 1-line installs:

    bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lunarvim/lunarvim/master/utils/installer/install.sh)
* LunarVim: https://www.lunarvim.org

* VaporNvim: https://github.com/VapourNvim/VapourNvim

* NvChad: https://nvchad.com

* AstroNvim: https://astronvim.github.io

Tried to install LunarVim a few months back and it stubbornly refused to install because I had to manually install some dependencies, and then it had issues with the versions of those dependencies. It didn't even have a brew package.

Life is too short to waste working around these issues, when there is already vscode, why should one go about wasting hours to weeks of time working around these tools which don't even give a full experience.

In some cases, like this this tool in current discussion 'Lite' aren't even actively maintained(a.k.a abandonware).

Much ado about nothing
