  • "neovim or vim8" it depends: how much time do you spend editing files on remote machines? For me when it was "all the time" I used vim, and now that it rounds to "never" the answer is neovim. There was never any question other than "do I need to be able to get quickly up and running on a given Linux box", because neovim is better in about every possible way except that one, where it's arguably much much worse. For what you're doing though there really isn't that much difference IMO. Commented Dec 18, 2022 at 12:03
