Using LazyVim got me over the hump to switch to neovim from vscode. My previous attempts failed when it took too long to get an IDE-compatible setup. I suppose I am the type of person that wants and IDE/editor that lives in the terminal!
I did the same thing and it was also a great learning aid. Now I run my own my own set of plugins but this got me past that initial learning curve. I think it says something that it finally happened to me after 4 decades of software development.
