- So, is your main editor Vim or Neovim?

Will moving my viml config to lua make nvim better in any way or is it just an alternative for those who don't want to use viml?
To make it easier, I wrote a plugin so Vim has the similar defaults to neovim. Vim finds .vim files using neovim paths (e.g. ~/.config/nvim/init.vim and ~/.local/share/nvim/site)

Reasons to stick with Vim over Neovim?
This plugin gives Vim the same defaults, path and directory layout as Neovim: https://github.com/mikeslattery/nvim-defaults.vim
-
Any point in switching to packer?
I am keeping my config backward compatible with Vim, so I'm only using Lua for neovim-specific stuff. If packer is compelling enough, I may make a break with Vim (and instead use sshfs or nvim scp://... to edit remote server files).

NeoVim defaults for Vim
Ever ssh into a server and which you had nvim and its defaults, and/or maybe the ability to use your nvim dotfiles? I wrote a plugin for that: https://github.com/mikeslattery/nvim-defaults.vim

Which version of Vim do you use?
According to some of the original benchmarks Bram and others did, yes, by a small margin.

So, is your main editor Vim or Neovim?
I can't comment on the language, but Bram wrote up motivations in brammool/vim9.
- Update on Vim9
- This is fucking hilarious

Wheel: Navigation framework for Vim: buffer groups, mru, outline, yank
I don't see why you would write a plugin in VimL in 2021. I mean even VimL's author decided to just create a new language — vim9 script — instead of fixing this one [1].
With neovim rpc you can write glorious plugins in TypeScript and Python such as coc.nvim [2].
Other than that, I'm inspired by amount of work you put in the project.

Todo List for Vim
I think its cryptic reputation comes form the use of normal mode commands and regex within scripts. There certainly are warts, like the user's 'ignorecase' setting permeating to many places in the runtime. Which I'd love to see fixed and whilst may also represent a breaking change for some scripts would be far more easily adoptable.

What are some alternatives?
When comparing nvim-defaults.vim and vim9 you can also consider the following projects:
vim9jit - a vim9script -> lua transpiler (written in Rust)
neovim - Vim-fork focused on extensibility and usability
