The vim landscape today is pretty incredible. Neovim nightly supports native LSP (and Treesitter!) so you get all the functionality that VSCode pioneered.

Neovim also supports configuring your setup in lua, certainly a better language than vimscript (which I agree isn't great) and lets you write native neovim plugins in lua.

Emacs of course supports LSP (and probably treesitter), I'm just reflecting on the fact that (neo)vim continues to evolve.

I think without neovim, vim popularity would have continued to degrade. Though the community, especially with packages like Coc.vim, continues to push vim along and bring support for external features. I personally think neovim is the future over vim given its management and native support for LSP and Treesitter.

In either case, its awesome both editors are still going strong! While VSCode and JetBrains' IDEs are great, they always feel crowded compared to vim. I love that both (neo)vim and emacs still have such large communities behind them. Both are great examples of software that is old, receives improvements and evolves, and continuously delivers value to their users.
