It's your editor, the learning curve is pretty sharp, but it's a comfort you can never live without once you tasted it.

An improvement to the already awesome Vim in too many ways to summarize here. In particular I am appreciating: its open source with active development, supports the major OSes, and is a platform that is being used by other products to extend the reach of the power of Vim!

Great terminal features, plugin integration including various language bindings, and thread support makes everything feel faster and smoother than any other iteration of vi like editors.

What is Neovim?

Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to:

Simplify maintenance and encourage contributions. Split the work between multiple developers. Enable the implementation of new/modern user interfaces without any modifications to the core source. Improve extensibility with a new plugin architecture.
