I've been using nvim exclusively for four months now. Perfectly stable (I think even more so than my vim was, I use lots of crashy plugins) and a perfect drop in, basically nothing changed for me when I renamed nvim to vim on my systems. I wonder what their roadmap is for a 1.0 release. Is it a specific feature set, or stability in their MessagePack APIs? Is it years off, or just pending some big bugs/refactorings?

That's pretty impressive considering the amount of change they made. Keeping it small, compatible and adding modern features and design .. I'm tempted to read their repository just to learn about project management.

  Yeah, there are some breaking changes and incompatibilities with vanilla vim... For me the first one was that the plugin folder and the .vimrc file locations changed..

    Damn it, I was wondering why my newly upgraded copy of Neovim suddenly stopped reading my .nvimrc (which is a symlink to .vimrc) Now I can fix it. Thanks.

      I went through this on Friday after a spontaneous update of neovim. The help docs are well maintained, see `:help nvim`, or read online here https://neovim.io/doc/user/nvim.html https://neovim.io/doc/user/nvim.html

I noticed block (vertical) selection copy/paste doesn't quite work the same as in vim.

  How does it differ? For me it works as expected, though I am using nvim longer than vim, so maybe I do not know intricacies well.

    Make a vertical copy from one buffer, try to vertically paste it in another buffer, at the end of some line. In MacVim, the vertical rectangle pastes at the end of the existing lines. In NeoVim, it pastes on a new set of lines.

So essentially there is little difference for end-users (yet)?

  I think :terminal has changed the way I develop at least a little bit. I haven't checked out the async linters yet.

  They're removed the encryption option because it's horribly broken in vim, and vim is a text editor not an encryption tool.
