I spent few weeks playing around with AstroVim and NvChad recently and both of them were pretty good. I personally found NvChad configuration easier to modify.

Yet I found myself pretty far from any IDE level configuration that I'd have wanted. It'd have taken me months to get to the level of productivity that Intellij offers on day one. I settled on Intellij with Vim bindings.

At this point I just want JetBrains to make a terminal based editor.

If you haven't tried out AstroNvim v3.0 yet over the past couple years when you were playing around with AstroNvim I would definitely recommend trying it out. The new v3.0 release made a lot of improvements to the configuration structure to decrease abstraction and make things easier. Although, if you have a setup that you like with NvChad that's definitely a good approach as well. All comes down to personal preference.

What did you find missing with nvchad and astroVim? The reason I ask is that I switched from intellij to lunarvim (similar to nvchad) about a year ago, and I felt like it only took me a couple hours to add a few extra keybinds and plugins like trouble.nvim and copilot.lua to make my IDE experience match intellij
