So is there even a reason to continue using Vim over NeoVim at this point

>>is backwards compatible with Vim plugins, even to the point where it can use the same .vimrc
Not an argument for using it instead of Vim.
>>has a cleaner codebase
I don't care about the codebase. If it works I'm happy, and Vim works.
>>has asynchronous functionality
Vim8 has that too.

The only real argument to using NeoVim is the embedded terminal but I'm not going to use that.

I have both vi and vim as aliases for nvim anyway
Much better async support, so plugins are typically more performant

>using plugins

Plugins are like 1/2 the reason you install vim and 3/4 the reason you install Emacs.

Use emacs with pugins and vi/vim with a clean config.
An heavy editor with an actual gui for serious stuff and a lean one for your terminal.

Fuck modal editing.
Die, vi, die!

>What we really need is NeoEmacs

We already have it.

>not using plugins

Inefficient faggot detected.

plugins are bloat

Computers are bloat
I just do all my work in my brain

Spacemacs is the worst emacs distribution.

>not aliasing his text editor to one character

Original has a cooler logo

Your mom is the worst distribution.

Ed is the standard editor.

neovim does vimscripting faster
proof - have a file with 10 lines and do
ctrl+v 10j shift+i # ESC

What's the best?

Honestly, at some point I really thought modal editing (and modal programs in general) is a generally horrible idea. But since I started using vim, everytime I use Photoshop, my browser, or anything else, I curse internally that they don't have a vim-like control scheme.

Recently I watched someone use Rhino (the CAD software) and I suddenly realized how much better Photoshop would be with a command line mode for everything. Of course you still would need the mouse, but imagine typing v-l-4-f-g-b-4 to apply a gaussain blur filter with radius of 4 pixels to layer 4 instead of having to use your mouse.

Imagine if no website had a conflict between browser shortcuts to move backward one word (say, ctrl+left) and to go back in history (say, ctrl+left as well), because you're either in input mode or not.

Does neovim have any advantages over vim8 now that vim8 has terminals, asynchronous operations, and more support than neovim?

This depends on if you use plugins that can easily be implemented in your .vimrc

>pasting in insert mode
quote plus register is instantaneous.
:r /path/to/file is instantaneous

>Neovim
You mean nu-vim

>pasting in insert mode
what? it inserts a # on 10 lines down

does neovim do python 3 auto completion and stuff out of the box? neither oldvim nor emacs does that oob

no, but there are neovim specific completion plugins that do the job much more efficiently than their vim equivalents

neovim spazzes out on my machine when I enlarge the font

ale with a tsserver would give you that, it's a good plugin

Vim8.1 has an embedded terminal though

spacemacs or bust

The most compelling reason in this thread.

Probably doom-emacs, although i can't install it because some packages are unavailable

holy shit I just realized I don't even need tmux
is there anything vim can't do?

Doom-emacs
Use develop. Its preferred and expected at this point. Just run a git pull every week or so.

This is why original vi is the best.

Actually vim 8's async sucks, proof here asciinema.org/a/wog1Bk858wcrwjovBhQSOE9el
Notice after pressing that vim takes a few seconds while and nvim js near instant.

alias is a pain to update your dotfiles on every machine.
