The three differences covered in this video:
- Vim is developed and maintained by one person
- Nvim is developed and maintained by the community
- Vim does not support asynchronous execution
- Nvim does support asynchronous execution
- Vim does not have great LUA support
- Nvim does have great LUA support

All of that for 10 minutes

Easy random character generator: get a random person in front of Vi and ask him to close the program

Nothing beats a good old pencil and some paper.

I can't exit both so there isn't really any change for me

[Ultrajamz]

The chad answer is typically: Whichever is already installed

[helkindown]

I use an AZERTY keyboard, and only neovim can understand special character for map command like "map à 0" or other non ASCII character, so I recommend it to anyone with a keyboard with those kind of unusual keys on it.

But for real.
Vim has the superior logo

Your point about vim being developed by a single person vs neovim being a community project seems a bit strange, since in your video capture of the vim commit history, every single commit was a patch merge. What I'm seeing is just different merge methods: a single commiter applying patches, vs merging pull requests.

Also my experience with the quality of code when it's mostly a single person writing it vs a large number of people submitting changes is quite the opposite of what you described.

[pointblank]

As a beginner in vim, what i am getting from this video is that i don't know enough to need neovim.

The virgin VIM and NeoVIM vs the chad not knowing how to do shell scripts in the first place

[franchufranchu]

Actually, you should remove systemd, glibc, and all other glow-in-the-dark software. The only thing you need is grub, vmlinuz, a minimal HolyC compiler, and the version of vi provided by busybox.

Three most immediate thing you'll notice about nvim is that "+ actually works. If you have vim preinstalled, depending on your distro, it will be compiled with the -clipboard flag disabled. Meaning you'd have to select your text with the mouse like a noob and Ctrl+Shift+C from your terminal emulator to send someone a code snippet or something. This is horrible not only be at you touch the mouse while using vim (which is sacrilege), but also because if you have long lines you will lose indentation. The soluit for this is to download the source code for vim and compile it yourself with that flag enabled. But if you're gonna go that far, might as well just switch to neovim.

[exstasis]

So, the bottom like is, if you don’t run an old computer from the 80’s, then go for Neovim.

*in a really thick Australian accent* na-no

[esra_erimez]

Fun facts: The original "vi" editor was written by Bill Joy at Berkley.. And, there was once a editor called "nvi" that was bug-for-bug compatible with original vi editor. vim evolved from an editor called "stevie".

[giatu]

"Tipe q to exit" One of the biggest lies in history.

[AoTheMighty]

Vim and Nvim are overrated, I just write on paper and scan it

[kayurbach]

A demo of actual visible difference would have been nice though. 👍🏽
