> Having something like that for NeoVim would be extremely nice. With new versions of Emacs having Wayland and Native Compilation it has improved performance significantly, but I don't think it will ever approach to just how fast NeoVim can be.

Always good to remind that emacsclient makes starting an Emacs frame/window instantaneous.

As someone who is fluent (but rather more emacs) in both I got to say neovim is much faster to use and not just to start. Emacs does a lot more tho so I don't think it's a fair comparaison....

Still enjoying switching between both,

I use both, I don't find opening nvim faster than creating a new Emacs frame, certainly not faster than opening an Emacs frame in the command line.

Noticing that I'm mentioning creating a frame, not starting Emacs from scratch.
