As a Vim addict/user. All I really want is a bit more modernization. I mean single threaded text editor in 2016.. NeoVim is supposed to be the savior.. But I don't feel like it gets a lot of support...

Because some tasks like autocompletion take a relatively long time. This leads to your editor blocking.
