Neovim 0.5 is awesome. It has native LSP support, Lua configuration support that it feels like true revolution over past versions.

But, getting into optimal setup in neovim/vim involves lot of configuration. Here is mine if you want to refer:

What's a good x-platform GUI for it?

neovim 0.5 is not quite out (but it's real close).

https://github.com/neovim/neovim/milestone/19

I've been using a neovim nightly along with VSC and Alexey Svetliakov's Neo Vim extension. His extension requires 0.5.

1) Terminal

2) Neovide :

Does anyone know of a nice git interface for Neovim? I would love to get off of emacs, but it's hard to beat Magit.

At the very least something that lets me view the repo status and stage selections would be good.

As a novice to vim, I found neovim really nice. You can download it and it Just Works, pretty much, with windowed version and sensible defaults. If you're interested in vim but found it hard to get into, I recommend it.

Haven't used Magit w/ emacs but have been using a library inspired by in for the last year or so: https://github.com/jreybert/vimagit

not sure how it compares feature wise but I've found it extremely helpful.
