I still haven’t recovered from the last couple updates… I’ll probably be making the switch to VIM very soon.

Re: Neovim 0.8 Released
#12Neovim is one of those things that seem maybe cool, but I just can't find a reason to switch. Vim works just fine for me, I don't know what I would be getting by switching, and I'd probably waste some time porting my config and workflow to whatever the differences are (I'm a heavy user of :terminal).
Personally I switched purely because of lua, I don't really gel with the vimscript.

Telescope is must have for me. https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim
fzf.vim works better, in my subjective opinion, but I haven't configured telescope a lot.

Yeah it's a tough one. I've switched back and forth relatively freely over the years, but now that new VimScript (vim9 script) has breaking changes and neovim will not be supporting it, it's probably time to pick a pony. I may end up sticking with og vim but my heart has always been with neovim. regular vim would undoubtedly still be stuck in the stone age (including with no :terminal) had neovim not started some com…
The creator of Neovim's LSP integration is currently working on a VimL9 JIT compiler to make Vim9 plugins work for Neovim (early stages). So you still may be able to stay on the fence.

Back in the day, Neovim has always felt about three times snappier than Vim (I think it was Vim 7.2). Also, I don't remember if the newer versions of Vim have it, but Neovim has native LSP support, which is also very nice.

#17This is possibly my favourite kickstarted project. I use this every day and got far more than my contribution was worth. Quite happy.
My latest thing is I use it with C-x C-e in the terminal and copilot.vim to get shell autocompletions!

#18They added a msi installer since 0.6 so that's pretty cool

the reasons why i switched to nvim:
- configuring in lua (much easier than vimscript, imho) - treesitter - built-in language server protocol - plugins (id call them "projects") like telescope

Your .vimrc will probably work as-is without much work from you.
Plus Vim and Neovim can co-exist on the same machine without an issue to try it out [1].
