Speaking for myself; vim's always available whereas I have to faff about (especially on older systems, or where I'm not admin) to get neovim working. The .vimrc files seem to have to live in different places meaning the scripts I've written to install vim/vim-plugins will need to be altered. Some plugins don't work properly. I've never got neovim working on windows (can't get the colours quite right) I tried the built-in terminal and thought it was a great idea but struggled to seamlessly hop between panes, pipe the output into files and open in other windows or copy/paste them. Tmux solves all those problems so I never use the terminal (and if I needed to it's in vim now). I liked the attitude of the project, but I still have no use for it. One idea which might make sense would be for the vim project to accept the neovim source; merge it back in as vim 9 so all the great refactoring, and other functionality is available for everyone and any wasted effort on two almost-identical projects is avoided.
