I moved to http://wikemacs.org/wiki/Evil and I am happy with the transition. Spacemacs seems to be a good choice nowadays.
Magit and org-mode are worth it.

#12Finally a "Save to Dropbox" feature!

#13Notable improvements: - Async /Io - Async Jobs - "Packages", which allow easier built-in bundling of plugins I'm pretty excited for this release! I've been using Neovim for several months now, but really great to see mainline Vim get these (IMO long overdue) enhancements.
How is Neovim working out for you? I remember using it at one point and it was really smooth experience.

#14Is there feature/API parity between Vim 8 and NeoVim? I would hate to see the community fragment and disintegrate.
Neovim already fragmented the community. Bram seems to have stepped up to the challenge bigtime since neovim announcement, as judged by his github activity graph. https://github.com/vim/vim/graphs/contributors
This is misleading. Bram takes commit ownership of external contributors. Compare it to Neovim, which feels much more like a community: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/graphs/contributors

I wouldn't say he's stepped up. It's all a reactionary response to Neovim. I dont think we'd ever have async in vim if it weren't for the neovim project. That being said I hope they pull an io.js and merge taking the best of both vim and neovim, whatever that may be.
can't imagine that happening unless vim drops some platforms it supports.

neovim will most likely merge good features from vim 8, but I find unlikely that the opposite happens. To be fair, I'm actually okay with that. One of the reasons neovim is where it is right now is because they forked it and because they keep it forked. I'm not sure how fast it would improve if neovim merged back.

If you're using Homebrew[1], then it's simply a case of:
$ brew install --HEAD vim

this async thing was Neovim's main selling point, right? I mean cruft-removal is all well and good but vim works fast and fine for me so not important. What does Neovim now offer that this doesn't?
