I've been using wasavi and it's fine. Does firenvim use your actual, local nvim config and appearance, though?
Vim, infamous for its steep learning curve, often leaves new users confused where to start. Today is the 10th anniversary of the infamous "How do I exit Vim" question, which made news when it first hit 1 million views.

Vimmatic is really just a new version of Vim Vixen - changes here: https://github.com/ueokande/vimmatic/compare/v0.1.0...v0.2.1 - so I don't think it is as experimental as it sounds.
