Lots of people have migrated. Some have migrated back. Neovim is developing at a good pace, porting features from some of its GUI clients to the TUI. Some of the features that set it apart have been reimplemented and landed in upstream Vim. As such, plenty of plugins are portable across both editors. Personally, I’ve stuck with Neovim since I switched.

Source please. Neovim is a bit of a pain to get started with. Vim may be obtuse but it has great documentation.

Pain how? I found it to be almost no different than vim. My config was nearly exactly the same.

The config path is different, perhaps that was it? Or maybe an award installation a few years ago. I remember having a few minor issues with pip, due to unfamiliarity with it. Some python version shenanigans as well. These days I can't really imagine any of those being an issue.

My config in vim and neovim is also identical. I literally downloaded neovim and just copied over my ~/.vimrc to ~/.config/nvim/init.vim and kept rolling.
