# Bloat
- To all those who think this is probably bloated, sure it is. Bloat means different to everyone. NvChad has like 30 ~ plugins but that doesnt mean those plugins are compromsing neovim's speed, snappiness or making it slow. No matter how many plugins I'd add on nvchad , it wouldnt compromise speed / snappiness / make it slow or whatever since it uses packer.nvim as plugin manager , packer.nvim lets you lazy load plugins i.e loading plugins on certain events , mappings , sequentially loading them etc so loading them only when needed , I have lazy loaded all the plugins so most plugins arent loaded by default, hence not affecting neovim's startup/launch time.

It would be nice if NvChad focuses on existing plugins and config before adding new things , some plugins like whichkey , telescope , treesitter still have basic configs! Also adding new features that'd make NvChad slow or its startuptime slow wouldnt be encouraged , if that feature's really needed then It'll be mentioned in the wiki with its config.

- Debloat the config.
- Make NvChad more faster (reduce startuptime too).
- Add another section in the wiki explaining the whole config (must be helpful for newbies).
- Make NvChad more and more faster (reduce startup time as low as possible).
- Add more themes.
- Preview shortcuts in the form of a pretty [cheatsheet](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/59060246/122490009-95fd9980-cffe-11eb-9676-78019aa2cd65.png).
- Add a user config so it doesnt get hard to update :c
