Neovim

Deep Dive Analysis

Neovim is a modernised Vim: same modal editing, but with an embedded Lua runtime, an async plugin model and a language-server client built in.

Target Audience

Developers who spend time in terminals and want the editor to disappear.

The Final Verdict

"Superb once configured, and configuring it is the cost. Do not adopt it during a deadline."
