Ubiquity. I have Vim on every machine I log into without installing anything extra.

With caveats:

- Different servers may have different versions of the program. Some distros are very "stable" and have very old versions of programs.

- It's common (especially for vim) for users to have significant configuration files to make use easier.

In my experience, Nvim and Vim are similar enough that I don't have any trouble SSHing into any server with Vim and using it after using Nvim all day for development. So far Nvim has been a purely opt-in experience for me.
