Neovim also has some surprising feature regressions compared to Vim. I tried switching to neovim for a while until I realized it was silently removing all ACLs on edited files and breaking services for me. Looking into it, I found that, for no clear reason, ACL handling was removed early on in neovim, and a bug had been open about it, with multiple pull requests that were never merged, since 2014 (https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/1200). Vim has never had a problem with this, as far as I know.
I like niche conferences, especially more-so if you're part of the group! I've been using vim for my entire career and neovim since around v0.2.
One of vim/neovim conferences (forgot which one) I was introduce to one of my favorite plugins: harpoon [1]. I would have never learned about this plugin if it wasn't for these types conferences.

There's also Neovide which is written in Rust, which makes it, well, blazingly fast.

There's (undocumented) IaC for the Jitsi-based multistreaming infrastructure used for NixCon's all-virtual 2020 conference here: https://github.com/nixcon/nixcon-video-infra
I think it was quite a bit of work, it worked very well. You can see the results here, according to your preference:

The authors on that GitHub repo might be able to offer some advice or other help to F/OSS communities interested in hosting conferences where presenters can call in using only free software!
Neovim top contributor has 2285 commits, followed by 21,66 commits for second.
It looks to me that neovim is more open to community contribution.
Then look at commit graph over period of time. It looks like Neovim is more actively developed. There development activity level around vim also increased in 2016. Perhaps that was the time when bram realized that he need to do more with vim, to compete with neovim.
I myself was a longtime vim user, who switched to neovim 2 years ago, and am happy with it.
