What do you use as your main development system? I'm on an Arch Linux VM, so I have an up-to-date Vim 8.0.

And since Vim 8.0 does terminals and asynchronous jobs now, I don't see much value for Neovim unless you have an IDE that integrates Neovim via its API.

This will be the biggest win for Neovim. When something like pycharm/webstorm vim support is moved to real vim rather than a reimplementation I will change.

I used to think in similar paths too. Honestly, NeoVim's biggest wins are a nice website, cleaner code (I think) and XDG basedir support.

(And to be fair, switching on Arch is really easy since it's in the official repositories)
