Neovim looks like a mini-project just to find the color-module libraries, let alone view-testing them or setting them. In MacVim I can browse and reset in a few seconds. vimr appears to barf on it, no matter how many different incantations of vimr I try, at least so far. MacVim does this nicely between it's cmdline/Terminal.app and existing MacVim opened-file windows.(This might be worthy of an entirely different post.) In short: why was portability (from vi/vim/MacVim) not a valued goal for the Neovim effort? vimrc/.gvimrc settings are breaking Neovim. Why did Neovim have to redefine a whole new config-file hiearchy and settings language? I spent decades compiling vi/vim stuff, and now it appears I have to retest everything, because many (most? it's hard to tell) of my.Are there any excellent "introduction to Neovim for seasoned vi/vim/MacVIM-ers" documentation resources?.

It does not seem like the greatest look for someone who's working hard to make your software and it's usability better. Not sure how reddit works-I'm a newbie (for both Neovim and reddit).


I found Neovim's extensibility vision quite attractive.Trying nvim natively in iTerm2 realizes much better performance, but I'm deeming it too much effort to integrate these things to realize features currently in MacVim. I'm learning many/most GUIs have this problem, and it's not limited to MacVim. MacVim's cursor-moving/rendering slowness on large windows.MacVim's apparent inability to freeze it's window size while font zooming, but as I've just learned, MacVim can be can be configured to do exactly this, and I've confirmed this behavior.I was originally motivated to replace MacVim with Neovim primarily due to MacVim limitations since been overcome or mitigated: which I'm guessing is near-term less likely. I've also (re)inquired about MacVimNeovim integration. I'm looking forward to future Neovim Universe maturity and will check back in occasionally. In lieu of further discoveries, I'm going back to MacVim for now.
