These changes are undocumented and must be discovered and explored organically, while the default behavior is well documented.

This, indeed, is concerning. Thank you for mentioning this!

Kickstart.nvim ads only a few packages that are very popular and provides a base upon which you can customize as needed.

Hmm…, allow me to ask the following: How much effort would it take to get Kickstart.nvim from scratch to where any of the opinionated distros are in terms of functionality?

It seems to offer a leaner approach. If you’ve used any of the ones mentioned in the OP, would you consider offering a more elaborate comparison between them?

Somehow it looks veiny, black and kinda nsfw…
