I'm currently using vim and I'm quite happy with it. I don't use many plugins, so better support for plugins is not very helpful to me. Are there other reasons why I should switch to Neovim?
For your use case, probably not many reasons. Maybe the built in terminal?
Hope someone (not me!) starts working on a nvimclient (akin to emacsclient) soon.

Wasn't "dev moving away from macOS" a hot topic on HN lately?

What good of a built in terminal? Thanks
If you're asking what good is a built in terminal, well, there's plenty of scenarios. One I'm facing right now is using GVim on Windows. Have you ever seen what happens when you type !dir in GVim, right now? It's really ugly.
Major version can make someone think nvim is still unstable. My experience is the opposite. I have being using it for 2-4 years (can't remember exactly) and got the same 0 problems I run into Vim. Earlier versions required you to recompile NeoVim to enable new features for plugins. Yesterday I installed NeoVim in my new laptop and it was a smooth experience: Installed it using Ubuntu package manager, installed Vim-Pl…
The only thing that I had issues with was plugins using the remote api from node because I kept forgetting to install node_host (which was mentioned in the README and I just overlooked). Once I remembered to install that (and node locally), everything just worked.

There is the more "open" and "community-focused" development model, and better code organization, if you care about those.

I've switched back and forward between neovim and vim since last year. Most people won't notice a difference right now. I think around version 1.0 we'll start seeing people do some more compelling stuff with neovim.
