yes

neovim removed bloat from vim and added useful features vim Bram then reimplemented in non-compatible way
neovim is based and redpilled and Bram is crybaby

What exactly can you do on nvim that you can't on vim?
Nathan Butler
neovim is bloated old vim with some hipster window dressing
literally no reason to use it
vis is the future of vim
Aiden Lee
wtf is vis, literally cant find it
Ian Clark
Nathan Hill
No.
The only reason was async plugin loading. Vim has this since version 8, too. So there is literally no reason to use it anymore. It's the same thing, just different color
Justin Scott
nvim is faster fuck you plebs
Elijah Adams
How many decimal numbers do I need to test this?
Carter Foster
it feels faster senpai, it's objectively less bloated. Even Bram himself says Neovim is true vim and only people still on terminals from the 80s should use vim.

I use this method to comment out multiple lines
Jayden Martinez
Besides the point, but wouldn't the commentary plugin make your life nicer?
Henry Fisher
Less bloated than vim.
Bill Joy's vi > neovim > vim
Carter Foster
I already feel comfortable and sufficient doing it this way, you can combine it with any of the motions as normal for example to comment out a paragraph
vip#
also could insert whatever I like in the beginning of a line
Nicholas Diaz
neovim is the reason there is async loading in vim.
im staying with neovim.
Isaac Martinez
Which shows again that competition and a lot of redundant software is a good thing.

I'm considering proposing a Code of Conduct for Neovim. Neovim devs seem cucked enough to accept it and it would destroy enough good will to effectively sink the project. Then we can concentrate our efforts on actual Vim instead of dividing them with this Lua based monstrosity.
Aaron Miller
lmao that list of non goals
Hudson Brown
Vim has a weird bug on one of my machines where it doesn't render all of the file, so I use neovim on that one.
Colton Carter
i don't use it because i try to make my setup as portable as possible
William Foster
I've opened quite a few bugs and PRs on both neovim and vim's github repos. The bugs and PRs on vim's repos are still open while neovim's aren't so I use Neovim.
Joseph Wright
Runs quicker than vim on my machine (with my configs) also has true async plugins so I'd say its worth

Seems less efficient to me, but as long as you're satisfied.
Landon Robinson
use vim-commentary. this is just painful

yeah right
Benjamin Ortiz
Lua scripting? Other than that I'm not sure.

The problem with neovim is it tries to fix something that is not broken... you can use whatever float your boat but I remember how at the start of the neovim project its devs were spamming day and night "MADE WITH RUST AND PYTHON 30% LESS CODE MADE WITH RUST AND PYTHON" and now they seem to have wiped out the rust and python part for some reason... Everytime I check this text editor it always sounds like hipster shit to me.
