Debian popcon can be interesting:
- https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=vim https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=vim
- https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=neovim https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=neovim
- https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=nano https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=nano
(nano for the control group)
So lots of neovim growth, but still small in absolute numbers. Then again, vim-tiny is installed by default. Normal vim is a better indicator. And it won't grow as much, because Debian's userbase grows slowly.
Personally I'm happy with the default Vim config (I'll enable features if I need them, such as line numbers) and prefer the minimalism.
I tried neovim but there were more bells and whistles by default, and I didn't want to waste time configuring (and I work on a bunch of machines when wearing my sysadnin hat). For plugins, I only use a debugger.
- idoubtit 4y agoFor those who don't want to parse the Debian popcon graphs : 94000 installs for vim 4000 installs for neovim Exact values are 94171=81618+5727+6826 for vim + vim-gtk3 + vim-nox, and 3980 for neovim. I ignored vim-tiny, which is installed by default.
