https://github.com/TimUntersberger/neogit Is a port of magit to neovim. Still some stuff missing (rebase/reset iirc) but mostly does the job

I've tried it. You can't really port magit from Emacs, its workflow depends entirely on how Emacs works (and this is a good thing, mind you). Neogit just feels awkward to use IMO from a vim perspective.

That said, I'm happy with Fugitive. It does the job in a way I'd expect from a vim plugin.

There's nothing Magit (or emacs) does that can't be done in vim, and vice-versa.

It's just a matter of having the will to do it and putting in the time.

I say this as a huge fan of both editors. They are both so powerful they can do just about anything.

That's not quite true for original Vim. The developer experience for writing plugins is incomparable; VimL lacks good ways of abstracting and composing behavior, while Emacs Lisp gives you just about everything a modern language should, including sophisticated object system with multimethods and multiple inheritance. The built-in debugger for Elisp is not on the level of JetBrains IDEs, but it provides all the typical functionalities and is GUI-driven, in contrast to Python's pdb or Ruby pry.

NeoVim is an entirely different beast, and I heard good things about its way of handling plugin development.
