Earlier quoted context omitted.

I stand corrected. Is your experience based on nvim v0.5?

Yeah, that's Neovim 0.5. But it's been like this for years: when I tried Neovim 0.2 (or something? I don't recall the exact version, years ago anyway) I also got many errors and incompatibilities. At this point, I think it's probably better to see Neovim as its own editor rather than "an improved Vim". Obviously based on Vim and still with close ties (many Vim patches are still backported), but the "it's just like Vi…

Well, don't know how to respond.

As an inveterate vim user, I jumped to neovim in hopes of a leaner, meaner and faster editor with an easier configuration process ( i don't like vimscript as compared to emacs lisp). After 5 years, neovim has hit a lot of milestones and I see it going places, yet the only thing that still attracts me to it is the energy and enthusiasm of the community.

I still don't fancy learning an entirely new language to configure my editor, but that's the fun part! ymmv I guess.
