not sure about worse.
enabling evil-ex-visual-char-range allows you to do things ex commands in (neo)vim cannot do.
That is, run things like !rev on a visual select. in (neo)vim this reverses the whole line where with (evil-ex-visual-char-range t) enabled in evil does what I'd argue is expected, only reversing the string selected in visual mode.
- gnubison 5y agoOTOH, Neovim lets you edit the ex command line; e.g. '!}' might expand to ':.,.+5!', which lets you execute any other ex command simply by deleting the '!'. They both have advantages, and I'm certainly not advocating that forcing ex commands to work on lines is the best idea.
