Has anyone used neovim yet ? Is it usable ? Is there any new features or are they only refactoring under the hood ?

I tried it. For now it just behaves the same as normal Vim. Most of the work done is indeed under the hood. They are refactoring the codebase so that it will be easier to create plugins, extentions and to use Neovim inside other apps.

It seems to be in a working state, and loads VERY fast. But I haven't tried modifying the nvimrc or use plugins.

Not quite. Neovim has working job control ("async"):

It works like the javascript event loop, so even though Neovim is still single-threaded, you can dispatch to external processes and handle the results in a callback(s).
