But I have no reason to switch and when I tried some of my plugins were buggy there.
I think they removed support for some languages extensions like ruby and other more niche languages.
They removed graphical vim (gtk/athena). Which I don't care about, but someone might care.
There were some bugs like not remembering that I removed mark from file. It remembers marks, but it brings them back after I delete them after I open the file again. Maybe they changed how .viminfo works there, I don't know. But it's just broken for me and I don't want to go through every setting I have to check what is causing the issue. Same config on vim just works.
I can't expect legacy plugins to work, because they apparently don't test them. If they fucked up marks I don't expect them that they support older plugins.
I don't want to rewrite old plugins and my settings just to switch to editor that is the same thing, but for zoomers that like "webdev icons" in their "nerdtree" and having a "telescope/harpoon" or whatever it is. Fzf-vim does the same thing, but "not fancy". I don't even use a fucking file manager. Buffers are all I need. LSP works on vim and is straightforward to setup unlinke the 10 ways to configure the "newest fancy wrapper over whatever was the original lsp implementation".
As an external observer of neovim that tried it few times it looks to me they have a nu-webdev philosophy of constantly reinventing everything, changing the apis and making vanity changes.
