I'm not judging (that much) but you can do pretty well with just telescope, undo-tree and the LSP stuff, no? Debuggers can make it very bloated, at that point I'd just fire up a real IDE just for debugging and get back to Vim to program

I still boot in sub 1s so I don't know what you mean by "bloated"

Lazy allows you to boot ultra fast by loading stuff in the background later, so "bloat" doesn't matter

nvim-dap does literally nothing until you trigger it, so it's only impact on my startup is like 3 hotkey registrations :p

It's a perfectly fine debugger, works great. The fact I can telescope search to fzf my stack trace actually kind of makes it superior? Like you can't do that sorta stuff in any other IDE I know of

Also all my navigation stuff like telescope/harpoon/etc still apply when debugging, so I can literally debug faster jumping around the stack trace with hotkeys.

Neovim doesn't get any less awesome when it comes to debugging, a lot of it's power still applies just as much haha

To each their own I guess. ๐Ÿ˜Š I imagine some people consider the bloat to be that extra IDE you have to have laying around just in case you want to debug something.
