Anyone considering to switch should keep in mind that these are projects with very different philosophies.

Neovim is always chasing the shiny new things; while that's exiting it comes with breaking changes, general instability and the possibility of changes that you might not like.

Vim is the exact opposite. You can drop in a .vimrc from 20 years ago it will most likely work fine. It should be noted that this focus on stability does not necessarily constrain innovation (eg. vim9script), it just sets a conservative pace of improvements.

Lsp support is not shiny and new. I’ve used vim for ages and it’s a huge breath of fresh air to use something not stuck 20 years behind. If you’re the kind of guy who turns JavaScript off to browse the web you’re probably someone who will like old antiquated vim. I of course love vim, original or neo, to the fullest. But I'm also saying it was a massive step up in performance, features, and making vim actually behave like an IDE.
