[–] ebits21@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 years ago (2 children) I’m curious as well. Maybe I will re-consider neovim. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] I_Am_Jacks_____@lemmings.world 9 points 3 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] evatronic@lemm.ee 3 points 3 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent
