I tried out neovim because of VSCode. The VSCode vim plugins are generally unsatisfying. They’re vim emulators at best. The plugin that uses neovim as a server is amazing.

I tried running it with neovim stable, but it always warned me that was unsupported and I got occasional bugs that required a VSCode reload. Thus, I’ve been on 0.5 nightly for a while. I didn’t know why the VSCode plugin demanded it. I think after reading this post, it’s the LSP support.
