- Lots of cleanup to terminal handling, concurrency so plugins don't choke the UI. alerque • Aug 2018 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Neovim is "literally the future of Vim". Compatibility with Vim, but built from the ground up for asynchronous plugins. A good replacement for GVim is all that's missing. Guest • Nov 2017 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
- It's basically Vim, but with improvements like plugins that don't halt the user interface. At least on Linux, I'd recommend Neovim over Vim. Nyquist • Aug 2017 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
