TLDR; Slimv and Vlime support SLIME like development environment for Lisp in Vim. They have similar features but their implementation details and key-bindings are different. The OP prefers Slimv more than Vlime.

But I think the OP needs to add a disclosure that they are also contributor to Slimv - https://github.com/kovisoft/slimv/commits?author=susam.

Open source contributions are good. This is a good thing. But this needs disclosure because they could be biased towards this plugin consciously or subconsciously.

Fair enough! I did contribute to Slimv but if you see the commit history in the link you have shared, all commits except the first one were made in the last one month. That's because I contributed these commits while writing this blog post. As I wrote down the steps and commands to work with Slimv in this post and double-checked that they really work by trying them out in Vim, I found that a few things did not work correctly. So I kept fixing those issues in Slimv as I continued writing this post.

What I am trying to say is that I preferred Slimv even before I began writing this blog post or contributed those fixes. More than being a contributor of fixes to Slimv, I have been a happy user of it. Of course, my preference for Slimv and my contributions to it could be correlated.
