I just started looking into Neovim, and I had the same concern about it being terminal-only. But then I saw this on the Neovim site: "Graphical interfaces are not packaged with Neovim. GUIs are not limited by terminal capabilities and can choose to override the rendering of certain neovim elements (cursor, tabline, popup menu, etc)...See Neovim's wiki[1] for a list of many of the available GUIs."

This looks interesting: https://github.com/asvetliakov/vscode-neovim https://github.com/asvetliakov/vscode-neovim > This extension uses a full embedded Neovim instance, no more half-complete VIM emulation! VSCode's native functionality is used for insert mode and editor commands, making the best use of both editors. I like lots of things about VSCode, but there are inefficiencies with editing that just drive me bananas so I keep falling back to good old familiar MacVim. For instance, line wrapping, auto-indenting, and mouse-select-then-rewrap in comments — comment support in the Vim ecosystem seems to have been designed by and for people who really care about good documentation, while I have to work much harder to get my comments and docs to look good when editing with VSCode. Hopefully the mechanism of embedding a full NeoVim instance will allow for a moe-or-less feature-complete Vim editing experince.

There is also Onivim although it is not 1.0 yet. Development is financed through selling licenses but it is open source and you can build it yourself. Development has stalled when the main dev got a job some months but there are apparently still people willing to develop it. https://www.onivim.io/ https://www.onivim.io/

  Oni2 is not vim. It does not act like vim. It uses neither Vimscript nor Lua, but instead Javascript (VSCode-based extensions). I paid for an Oni2 licence and regret it, because it isn’t what I want, which is a MacVim.app wrapper for neovim. If you like MacVim.app, there is _absolutely no GUI that is acceptable_ for neovim. I understand why, and I’m not interested in taking on the development myself. But until someone makes a GUI that is as well-integrated with macOS as MacVim.app, I will be using vim and not neovim.
