I found your issue and that's not at all how it went down. I don't think they were the ones being arrogant.

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.

For anyone who is new to vim and wants a more-or-less OOTB auto-complete, auto-format experience, I recommend https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim
As for neovim, personally, I don't find a reason to switch. They say integrated LSP is coming in their next release but I don't see how that approach could be better than CoC's tracking of VSCode as upstream and bringing all the goodies of that high man-hours product.
What makes me consider switching, is a practical exclusive feature like that Tree-Sitter algorithm for syntax-highlighting that neovim team is touting or at least a concrete and reproducible performance benchmark against the regular vim.
