ActualVim (a plugin for Sublime Text 3) implemented support for the Nvim 0.3 "buffer updates" feature in less than 24 hours:<p><a href="https://github.com/lunixbochs/ActualVim/commit/414e8d4c3feb4c798a611c14ef47741e8b952146" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/lunixbochs/ActualVim/commit/414e8d4c3feb4...</a><p>Oni[1] is also expected to use the feature soon.<p>Other features worth noting are<p>- <Cmd> key <a href="https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/4419" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/4419</a><p>- stdpath() function <a href="https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/6272" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/6272</a><p><a href="https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/7679" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/7679</a> and <a href="https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/8226" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/8226</a> are small but nice quality-of-life improvements.<p>There's also many new API features and defaults tweaks listed in the release notes.<p>Oh, and a built-in AST-producing VimL expression parser:<p><a href="https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/7234" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/7234</a><p>That's a big one.<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/onivim/oni" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/onivim/oni</a>
I have a serious question: If Emacs has a lot of the features people seek in Neovim, why not just use Emacs in evil mode? I watched this earlier today so it seemed relevant: <a href="https://youtu.be/JWD1Fpdd4Pc" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/JWD1Fpdd4Pc</a><p>Side note: I've been using Neovim for months now and I've not tried Emacs. Not because I don't want to but because Vim with the plugins i have works really really well.
I wish there was a good GUI for nvim/vim. I've tried them all and they all lag, either just a cursor lag when there is syntax-highlight (gvim) or when using snippets/auto-complete (nvim-qt for example).<p>I haven't found a single good GUI for nvim/vim. If you have, please let me know.
