whats the status of neovim at the moment ? has it reached a level such that you can use as an editor on a daily basis ?
As a side effect, various things seemed to become much faster, such as Vundle installs. I assume this is due to some async work, but i never really looked into it, so this is very anecdotal.
Overall it's been a seamless transition. I haven't even bothered to keep up to date with the repo master, simply because it has worked so well i haven't needed to.
Really enjoy this project, can't recommend it enough :)
Genuine question, why is it so great? any reason to switch to it?
Many old builds have been dropped and a number of important things have started using libraries (libvterm just an example of this). In theory this won't change the functionality, but may, long term, improve stability.
It's also nice that we aren't relying on one person to keep the project going. Bram is very dedicated, but when his response to "How can the community ensure that the Vim project succeeds for the foreseeable future?" is "Keep me alive", that doesn't say anything great about the project.
I recommend it, simply because it supports and promotes awareness of a really cool project. One that potentially could have significant gains.
Also, it's a bit faster (very noticeable with CtrlP).
OT, but why? what did you switch to, if anything?
I'd like something, but i'm in no rush to find it.
