Does the plugins provided serve as replacements for “similar plugins”?

[jsahota11]

Essentially in the README for each plugin, at the bottom, a list of plugins serving a similar purpose is outlined. Are the libraries provided by mini.nvim replacements for those?

For example, the fuzzy finder has a "similar plugin" telescope.nvim. Telescope is something I use frequently, would the provided fuzzy finder in mini achieve much of the same capabilities as telescope?

What about mini snippets compared to something like nvim-cmp?

Thanks.

For most of them the answer is "yes, to a degree, if not explicitly said otherwise". There are more details in the help files:

• 'mini.pick' comparisons. I would say it is on par with 'telescope.nvim' if 'mini.extra' is also set up.
• 'mini.snippets' is a snippets engine and loader. Its comparisons are here. 'nvim-cmp' is an autocompletion engine and its 'mini.nvim' alternative is 'mini.completion'. Here are its comparisons to similar plugins.
