Not the parent but FWIW I've been using neovim for +6 months now and it's fantastic. I'm super impressed at the pace of progress and responsiveness of the team.

I've since switched all my plugins to use async versions and it's sooo fast, didn't think vim could be faster but here we are.

Could you mention which plugins you switched to? Is there a list somewhere that details the alternatives that work better in neovim?

[shazow]

Off the top of my head:

- vim-plug for a plugin manager (very good regardless of concurrency)

- neomake for building

- vim-go added async job support using neovim a while ago for most of its functionality, which I use for writing Go

My full inventory is here: https://github.com/shazow/dotfiles/blob/master/.vim/plugins....

Do most vim plugins work without changes in neovim? I'm mostly using vim-airline and tagbar to be honest, wouldn't be sad if the other ones stopped working.

VimScript is not deprecated in NeoVim, and maintaining backward compatibility is major focus. So must Vim plugins will work in Neovim. vim-airline is listed among the plugins that has some special neovim-specific features added: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Related-projects

Cool, thanks.
