While I usually stick to I, A, N+G, Shitf-ZZ and :q! only, I appreciate the effort and keeping vi alive and well.
Big thanks!
Notable 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.
anyway to get this on osx now Readme seems incomplete https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/READMEdir/README_mac....
If you're using Homebrew[1], then it's simply a case of: $ brew install --HEAD vim [1] http://brew.sh
I've since put Windows 10 on my MBPr (performs so much goddamned faster, Ivy Bridge era /w Intel GPU only, 8gb of RAM, decentish SSD for that generation), and use msys2 to fill that gap.
Disclaimer: My company Exelion hosts the msys2 mirror because their project is so important to the Windows community, and Sourceforge was having serious issues at the time. Well worth spending a dedi on them to keep the project going, imo.
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.
Sublime + Vintageous for me. More than anything, Vim for me is a really good set of keybindings.

Thanks, we updated the link from https://github.com/vim/vim/releases/tag/v8.0.0000 .
Maybe https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/v8.0.0002/runtime/doc/versio... ?
Oh Vim... If you're going to lightweight and vi-like, than do that. If you're going to go the Emacs route (and if you're adding async, packaging, and lambdas, make no mistake, you're starting in the steps to building an inferior Emacs), than get a half-decent extension language. Or just up and die. We don't need a Vi clone that does the Emacs thing, we've got Evil/Spacemacs for that.
Why would you bash VIM by saying it should die? Just move over to something else and use the "Mom Rule."

Earlier quoted context omitted.
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?
Neovim is still a lot faster for me. A simple example is always commenting out a block 10jI#, which takes 5 seconds or so in vim (including 8.0), but is instant in neovim.
Thanks for the work done here. I'm not a VIM user anymore (I use Spacemacs now), but it opened my eyes/mind to what is a professional code editor. After using VIM, using any other editor feels like programming in Notepad. VIM you'll always be in my heart.
