Async is only a performance detail and using a degorary term as "pop-blink IDE" to refer to the choice to include async is wrong.
I've been using Neovim since it forked and it has always offered a Vim-like experience, it's just that Neovim has given you more options.
Maybe that's why some think it's too "blinky" as it's possible to turn it into a blinky IDE if you really want to because it's more capable (and some do).
- wruza 2y agoWhat were these options? Something must have been very special to make a fork and not just a set of plugins. What was it, in terms of end-user features?
- lawn 2y agoThe feature I migrated for was async update and installation of plugins, and I used Neovim exactly as I used Vim a long time after that. It's just in recent years I've migrated to Lua and the large amount of Neovim specific plugins (many that heavily depend on async for non-blocking operation of for instance picking or completion).
