After setting up LunarVim, I wanted to get it to work with a NeoVim GUI I had tried some in the past, but did not like any. Then (I think on Discord) I came across some discussion that they got LunarVim (lvim henceforth) to work with Neoclide. I couldn’t even get it to run 😞 I tried VimR, and it worked. i.e. I got it running. But I didn’t like their default look.

Earlier I tried adding individual plugins and learning all the nvim basics, but since I’m pretty happy with Doom Emacs 1 But Lunar nvim seems stable and provides a lot of functionality out of the box. 👍 prerequisite page asks to ensure that I have cargo.

Since I use Doom emacs as may primary editor, I use nvim only for occasional quick edits here and there. So I had not paid attention, but nvim the ecosystem is getting better.
