Personally, I think this is an excellent change. If neovim remains 100% compatible with vim, down to every minor issue, then it will be very hard to usefully improve.

Personally I don't use vim, even though I like the concept of vim, because it simply doesn't fit with the ecosystem I want to use (it seems to be hard to integrate clang for auto-complete and syntax highlighting into vim for example, without long hangs or strange visual effects for example, because vim doesn't support threading for example)

You may want to try https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe Does exactly what you describe wanting, and very well IMHO.

neocomplete.vim[1] and neocomplcache.vim[2] are nifty alternatives if you don't prefer YouCompleteMe.

I'd like very much if Neovim adds functionality like YouCompleteMe out of the box. It's probably the most "complicated" in terms of dependencies, etc. VIM plugin that I have to install.
