Having used MacVim for several years and now using Neovim mostly in the terminal but sometimes VimR, I disagree that it's a mess.
I get wanting to have a common gvim ui/ux across platforms, but I think having a Mac-like or Windows-like ui/ux on those platforms mostly trumps that.
Also, the special features of VimR, like the built-in file browser and Markdown preview can easily be disabled. Using the native rendering of macOS and support for ligatures, for example, is certainly a plus IMHO.

Granted, it’s been about six months since I’ve used VimR, but I bounce off it every time, because it doesn’t work with the configuration that I have built up trying to match my Vim configuration to the best of my ability.
