LazyVim is a pre-configured Neovim setup powered by the lazy.nvim plugin manager that turns Neovim into a full-featured IDE while remaining easy to customize and extend. It ships with sane defaults, pre-configured plugins, and a starter template for users to build their own config on top of.

Use cases

• turn neovim into an ide
• pre-configured neovim setup
• easily customize my neovim config
• neovim distribution with lsp and completion
• starter template for neovim configuration
• fast vim setup with sane defaults

When to choose

• you want an IDE-like Neovim experience without configuring everything from scratch
• you want a pre-made config that is still easy to tweak and extend
• you value fast startup and lazy-loaded plugins
• you want sane defaults for options, keymaps, and autocmds

When to avoid

• you prefer building your Neovim config entirely from scratch
• you need a fully turnkey IDE with zero terminal usage
• you cannot install Neovim >= 0.11.2 or its companion tools (git, ripgrep, fd, a C compiler)
• you want a GUI editor rather than a terminal-based one
