kickstart.nvim has recently undergone a major update and is now much more comprehensive in explaining exactly what the configuration does.
kickstart.nvim can be installed with a single command and is super easy to start customizing. It isn't a full distribution, it's just a solid way to get started using Neovim!
I had a pretty comprehensive vim config that I used for both neovim and vim, and had held off on migrating to lua, because of the effort involved, and because all the other neovim starter packs are huge and very opinionated.
kickstart.nvim is a perfect starting point IMHO. It's just enough to have everything included but without all of the bells and whistles allowing one to replace whatever component they want.
One thing I didn't know is that neovim in pure lua seems to be a lot faster than the vimscript plugins. I assume that it's related to neovim compiling those lua modules to bytecode. Before I migrated to lua, I kept going back to vim.
