Gvim isn't really an "or" in this case, it's just a GUI for vim.

Some things I like about neovim over vim.

- Lua integration as first class citizen.

- Treesitter

- lsp built in

- Feeling that the community is super active and in a period of movement.

I love being able to hack and add specific functionality to my own workflow in lua just as part of the editor. I can add features in a way that I just can't in VS Code or vim. It's no emacs level of hackability, but it's a happy medium for me.
