I have been using Vim as my primary editor for many years and am happy with it. People I know who use developer editors are split between Vim and Emacs. Neovim usage is minimal. Why? It is an honest question.
I see developers of the editor happy, which is a good thing, but IMO to get more users NV must show why it is better from a user perspective -- have several demos on the powerful things easily achieved with NV that are painful with Vim (via plugins is OK).
If NV devs can do this, it will go far. If not, then the case for an upgrade hasn't been made yet for most users. My 2c.
