Switching from Vim to Intellij

Why do you prefer neovim to vim? I tried both and as of vim8 there wasn't anything keeping me on neovim so I switched back. I figured any neovim features would be handled by the IDE side

- Built in LSP support

- Moving away from config and plugins in VimL, which is extremely idiosyncratic and awkward to use, towards lua and other languages via rpc

- Long term health of the project - neovim feels like a truly community driven project, whereas Vim seems bottlenecked by Bram and his specific desires. Neovim has also gone to great lengths to make the source easy to maintain long term.

- inccommand (https://neovim.io/doc/user/options.html#'inccommand')

- saner defaults
