I would have written a similar comment, if I hadn't found yours first.
I've been a vim user for 20+ years, combined with debian and bash.
Those, together with python, have fused into my DNA by now I suspect. I've tried out neovim on several occasions, but it didn't offer anything I needed (treesitter, lsp, lua: don't need or like either), plus it takes away something I love which is gvim.
And worst of all, is what you describe: the neovim ecosystem is in permanent flux.
Constantly deprecating, replacing and rewriting existing and new plugins.
Re-implementing vimscript plugins in lua, just for the sake of it, but then often half-baked, with missing features and new bugs, only to be abandoned by a new shiny plugin 6 months later. I much prefer my trusty old vim and vimrc, with stability and reliability. No need to chase the latest new bling, no need being scared that an update with vim-plug will break my things because the dozen plugins I use have been maturing over many years. Useful features, very few bugs, rock solid. Like vim itself, follow thoughtful development, slow and steady. RIP Bram... |
