    Wait, packer is dead? Feels like I’ve been through 100 damned packed managers.

    What should one use now then?

      The notice on packer suggested to use either lazy or pckr

      NOTICE:

      This repository is currently unmaintained. For the time being (as of August, 2023), it is recommended to use one of the following plugin managers instead:

      lazy.nvim: Most stable and maintained plugin manager for Nvim.

      pckr.nvim: Spiritual successor of packer.nvim. Functional but not as stable as lazy.nvim.

      As long as it still works for you, there is no need to switch. Resist the urge to follow the hype, it just means you’ll spend less time doing something actually productive.

      Been using minpac since forever. It has all the minimal functionality and is a perfect dead project one doesn’t have to worry about.

      One day I might switch to lazy, but so far I’m too lazy to.

      Yeah I’ll stick with packer until some breaking change maybe happens with neovim in the future. I say this with no knowledge of the other two options, but everything with packer is so damn easy I can’t imagine lazy or pckr being any easier.
