> feel as snappy and light as Vi.

this is only true if we're strictly talking editing text wihtout any plugin functionality. As soon as you add code completion features vim shows its age, the Ale extension for async linting for example feels very sluggish on a few only slightly dated laptops I tried out and frequently grills the cpu.

I also noticed ALE was very slow with JavaScript so changed it to run on save only.

However Neovim’s plug-in architecture is a big improvement. I’m running Deoplete (which provides intellisense like functionality) on the same machine, and it is basically instant. There are GIFs at the bottom of the repo:

Hey, thanks for that tip. This is really great. I'd never used neovim and almost switched to vs code but this is working really well!

This. Vim also has a nasty habit of hanging completely if something goes wrong at the filesystem level (e.g. a disconnected sshfs mount).
