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.

When an ecosystem is new there is a lot of design space to explore. No one knows what the best ideas will be - the only way to find them is to try lots of things. After a while it becomes clearer what the good ideas are, and things settle down. That happened in Javascript when React and Vue became popular. You didn't see a new application framework every month anymore - at least not ones that got a lot of adoption. Exploration shifted to stuff like state-management libraries to use within React. Of course the search for better ideas never stops completely...

I’ve been updating my plugin managers for over ten years now. Would be nice if neovim just bundled a default plugin manager you could use and all the examples could use.
