As a Neovim user you know about LSP, either because you have a bunch of server configuration from nvim-lspconfig, have a custom on_attach function in your init.lua file, or because you actually wrote an LSP extension.

During my talk I'll go over the things I find particularly annoying about LSP, sharing some of my experiences as an open source contributor and an ex-Microsoftie that directly worked with its core maintainers.
