Why do you prefer neovim to vim? I tried both and as of vim8 there wasn't anything keeping me on neovim so I switched back. I figured any neovim features would be handled by the IDE side
- Moving away from config and plugins in VimL, which is extremely idiosyncratic and awkward to use, towards lua and other languages via rpc
- Long term health of the project - neovim feels like a truly community driven project, whereas Vim seems bottlenecked by Bram and his specific desires. Neovim has also gone to great lengths to make the source easy to maintain long term.
- inccommand (https://neovim.io/doc/user/options.html#'inccommand')
- saner defaults
