Is this project dead?

[superDross]

I see there have been no new updates since Jan 11 and am wondering if this project has been abandoned? Or whether I should expect this project to be maintained?

If it's any clue, the author himself has quietly switched to lazy.nvim:

But it's working properly or has major issues?

it's been 6 months and no updates, I think the author has abandoned the project but it still works fine :)

Nothing ever "works fine", software has bugs and contexts change requiring maintenance. I personally will be moving to lazy.nvim when I get the time.

Usually when an open-source maintainer leaves, it's with a message somewhere about not having time etc. Occasionally you'll get a deprecation message or a passing of the baton or "no longer maintained, check out $REPO". The author is still active in open-source, so we can rule out incapacity. I'm uninterested in morality discussions, "he gave this for free" etc. so I'll just post an 😒 emoji and leave it at that.

Well, that's probably the most compelling answer to my question of whether migrating to lazy.nvim is worth it.
