    I’m curious as well. Maybe I will re-consider neovim.

      For my machines, I switched to NeoVim a while ago. There were certain instances when editing large files that Vim would lag and NeoVim doesn’t. But I manage a lot of systems that are not my systems, so I use Vim on those.

      I switched several years ago, back when neovim did async stuff and :term and supported things like ALE before vim8 implemented similar functionality.

      So far, I haven’t run into anything that neovim can’t handle in my day-to-day, and it seems generally faster, but that’s probably me falling for the “neo” in the name. Like how painting flames on the side of a car make it go faster.
