Hello @NotAShelf, Please forgive me in advance for the question I am about to ask. Can you please explain why one should use this instead of Nixvim? Thanks. Refael. |

Hi, The main differences between nixvim and nvf are mostly philosophical, and also architechtural. nvf aims to be a much more powerful and fully documented tool to build your Neovim configuration from scratch rather than providing an easy way to configure each and every plugin that is out there. We also have a more "radical" ideas on purity and reproducibility, e.g., There is also the DAG system, which I would consider the main strength of nvf for ordering config sections as you see fit. It is all documented on the manual if that piques your interest Hope that answers your question. p.s. I do not intend to add a note to the readme about nixvim, as I have no reason to compare the projects. nvf was not made as a "nixvim competitor" and it has been growing alongside nixvim for the past two years or so. Both projects outline their goals, so picking the one you want to you use is up to you. |
