As an avid vim user I was trying to google and see reasons to use NeoVim and I couldn't find any except "built in terminal" Any advice on why I should switch?

- tombert 10y agoThe tab-autocomplete when you hit the ":" key gives out written suggestions. All the plugins you know and love with Vim should work, and you can write new plugins in virtually language. New features tend to reach NeoVim faster than with regular Vim; most notably async support. NeoVim used the XDG system for configs, so it doesn't pollute your home folder with a bunch of dotfiles. And this might just be in my head, but I just feel like the entire system is a bit snappier and runs faster. ===== EDIT: ==== falcolas pointed out that I was mistaken on the first point: > The tab-autocomplete when you hit the ":" key gives out written suggestions. That appears to be in regular Vim.
- falcolas 10y ago> The tab-autocomplete when you hit the ":" key gives out written suggestions. Can you explain this a bit more - how does this differ from vim's tab completion for ex commands? :e ~/.vim^I .vim/ .viminfo .vimrc :help ctrlp- 'ctrlp-<c-p>' ctrlp-options [...]
- tombert 10y agoLooks like I lied (or was using an old version of Vim a few years ago). I just tried it on my machine and got the tab autocomplete with written suggestions in both Vim and NeoVim. My bad!
