Context is this issue at neovim [dot] github [dot] io: https://github.com/neovim/neovim.github.io/issues/501

    I’m hodling, it might just be contrarianism. Really hope this won’t push them further into DHH corner too, neovim is like the only thing I cannot imagine replacing.

      Tbf I’m not a huge NVIm user, I use it occasionally in terminal. Most of my work is done in Emacs and I can’t recommend something like doom Emacs enough for beginners.
