I stuck with Vim for a long time. I had friends that made the jump and honestly, around version 0.4.3, it still didn't seem to offer anything I cared about. So I stuck with my decade old .vimrc. I had started to get into CoC stuff, and NeoVim was just starting to release their native LSP integration. On a whim, I decided to give it a shot. I ended up sticking with it. Now there'd have to be a heck of a good reason for me to go back. I never enjoyed VimL. Any of the personal plugins I've written, I've had to struggle through writing. While Lua isn't the most amazing language either, I do like it far more. I feel like NeoVim's ecosystem is pushing the boundaries far more than Vim but, isn't that kinda what Vim wanted? They want to remain the conservative slow-moving text-editor. There's nothing wrong with that at all!
