I reverted to Vim after trying NeoVim for a few weeks simply because a lot of Vim defaults had to be chased-down and configured just to get basic Vim features in NeoVim. NeoVim also requires messing with a ton of config files compared with Vim so no thanks.
- colordrops 4y agoHmm, I used vim for nearly a decade then switched to neovim a few years ago and it was pretty much seamless. I've only got one config file for neovim that still works for vim, so your info on that is just plain wrong. What defaults did you have difficulty with? All my settings were mostly the same.
- alwillis 4y agoHmm, I used vim for nearly a decade then switched to neovim a few years ago and it was pretty much seamless. Same. Neovim just enables most of the settings almost all Vim users turn on anyway; it’s not a dramatic change by any means.
- n8henrie 4y agoWeird, I've had exactly the opposite experience. Neovim seems to have much more usable defaults IMO, I was able to decrease my config size a fair amount when I stopped trying to maintain a vim-compatible config file, in large part because of the settings that were already default in nvim.
- krono 4y agoYour single `.vimrc`-style config file should just work, NeoVIM just looks for it elsewhere. Most other differences are config defaults, the majority of which I suspect you have manually added to your current VIM config anyway. Here is a detailed list of all the differences on the NeoVIM docs: https://neovim.io/doc/user/vim_diff.html https://neovim.io/doc/user/vim_diff.html It's totally fine if you simply prefer VIM, of course.
