The main benefit of Neovim for me is support for async jobs. So, for example, if you have autosave enabled, it won’t block the UI while it’s writing to disk.

- DominoTree 8y agoAt this point, vanilla Vim has async jobs as well, although it's not as clean as NeoVim
- kerny 8y agocan you expand a bit more on "not as clean" as NeoVim? I consider vim's implementation of async jobs simpler than neovim's.
- OscarDC 8y agoVim now also supports async jobs since Vim 8 (but with a different API). IIRC, neovim implementation was first proposed as a vim PR before the fork happened. The mess following it was one of the main reason behind the fork.
