This Week in Neovim #52: packer.nvim is unmaintained with pckr.nvim as a spiritual successor, treesitter query editor added to Neovim core, and floating windows can have a footer (dotfyle.com)

This is one thing I hate about Neovim. One year, Packer is what everyone uses, next year it's deprecated. It's like with JavaScript libraries.

I just switched to packer 3 months ago from Plug.

I'm curious, why did you switch from plug? I keep seeing new plugin managers pop up but plug has been solid for years for me.

Only reason I switched was I was redoing my neovim config in lua. Almost all the lsp examples are in lua and most lua plugins showed packer config examples. So I went with the kids path of least resistance and used what seemed most popular at the time.
