Let me see...

  • lspecho has been moved and merged into another repository, so it will likely be maintained there. I'd say it's safe to remove.
  • lspinstall and lspupdate essentially do what mason.nvim does, being unmaintained and most likely non functional might warrant a removal
  • autocomplete.nvim gets the lspecho treatment
  • supermaven seems to have stopped development of the "backend part" of the project, so it's a safe remove imho
  • I don't think that deprecations warrant the removal of mix.nvim considering the absence of issues, if some pop out, then we'll clean it up.
  • yaml-companion has been archived quite recently, so maybe it's a bit early to archive, hoping a maintained fork pops out.
  • lsp-lenses is quite an interesting plugin, and I don't see any real "does not work at all" issues open, I'd say to wait for a bit.
  • flyboy is unmaintained but I don't see any "does not work" issues, so maybe waiting a bit more is a good idea, although in this case I'm on the fence because of how fast AI APIs change. If it gets removed I won't be the one complaining.
  • ts-error-translator has a PR fixing the "probably non functional" issue, I'd say to wait and see if it gets merged.
  • micropython.nvim is a bit of an odd one: by author's own admission (see https://github.com/jim-at-jibba/micropython.nvim/issues/9) doesn't seem interested in MicroPython anymore, so this might not have a future.
<!-- gh-comment-id:3416972003 --> @Penaz91 commented on GitHub (Oct 17, 2025): Let me see... - lspecho has been moved and merged into another repository, so it will likely be maintained there. I'd say it's safe to remove. - lspinstall and lspupdate essentially do what `mason.nvim` does, being unmaintained and most likely non functional might warrant a removal - autocomplete.nvim gets the lspecho treatment - supermaven seems to have stopped development of the "backend part" of the project, so it's a safe remove imho - I don't think that deprecations warrant the removal of `mix.nvim` considering the absence of issues, if some pop out, then we'll clean it up. - yaml-companion has been archived quite recently, so maybe it's a bit early to archive, hoping a maintained fork pops out. - lsp-lenses is quite an interesting plugin, and I don't see any real "does not work at all" issues open, I'd say to wait for a bit. - flyboy is unmaintained but I don't see any "does not work" issues, so maybe waiting a bit more is a good idea, although in this case I'm on the fence because of how fast AI APIs change.

@Penaz91 I've added new plugins.

To make things easier I've treated each list item as a checkbox:

  • [X] - Confirmed to be removed.
  • [ ] - Unclear status (or new item).

Thanks, I think you can remove norcalli/snippets and project.nvim can be removed.

@Penaz91 I'm not so certain that it's a "proper" fork (just 1 commit as of writing). Regardless, I don't think it is our duty to look around to replace stuff. Might be wrong, but that's my impression.

@Penaz91 @rockerBOO I've made some progress. I've been progressively removing any unlicensed plugin I've encountered SO FAR.

Already deleted plugins will have links to their respective PRs, for any checks (probably missed some of those).

If there's any feedback I'd be glad to hear!

I think you're doing a great job, glad to see that this repo is getting some well-deserved love.

The only suggestion I feel giving is taking it a little bit easier, it would be a shame that someone with your attention to detail and evident dedication ends up being burned out from doing too much all at once.

Your health (both physical and mental) comes first!

Checked some plugins I think that can be removed, I would wait for penvim and others just cause I don't see "Does not work" complaints so far.

vim-plugin-list can be replaced by the other repos suggested in the readme. Neovim has promised first-class support for VimScript anyway, it would be a shame to not hint at that.

Hi @DrKJeff16 thanks for your work, If an inactive plugin still working, maybe should not be removed. Or maybe a new section '## Inactive plugins'

@wsdjeg I don't really see the point on keeping inactive plugins around in a section when this issue exists (and may be used as an index for previously removed plugins). As the acceptance criteria suggests, "functional" plugins are in theory what we should be displaying, within the reasonable margin of error of course. I'm aware that "functional" is a developing and kind of subjective term, yet we can more or less agree on it in a more abstract way.

Yes, some inactive plugins can be left where they are for now. We don't really do ranking by popularity, nor anything of the sorts. Just dividing by category. My concern is if/when they stop being functional (a rabbit-hole of a topic on its own).


Sorry for over-analyzing this topic. I just want to make things easier and more consistent to avoid confusions as much as we can.

As a former user of dressing, I saw that now many plugins have their own registration routines for vim.ui, so that's more of a reason to remove this plugin imho.

I think I noticed somewhere plugins suggesting to use it, but I can't remember from the top of my head.
