I recently switched to LazyVim and the default config in their tutorial included all the “extras”. It transformed vim into some kind of hallucinogenic kaleidoscope of an IDE with all sorts of telescoping overlays and pop-ups with a color scheme that fits well with an 8 year old girl’s princess themed birthday party. I actually screamed a little.

Not sensible. completely insane.

Not sure about the "tutorial", but I use lazyvim as base for LSPs, snacks, neo-tree and a theme matching the rest of my desktop and it seems to be fine?

nvim has a lot of "fun" plugins that you wouldn't actually use so I think you might have ran into that.

there’s the LazyVim distro and the lazy.nvim plugin on which it was built. the latter is a bit more sensible.
