Why is vim8.1 better than neovim?

Question

linux

I crawled over to nvim a couple of years ago for asynchronous compilation in the background. I had to change the environment a bit. Now vim8 can do this too, and 8.1 also has a terminal. Installed 8.1, symlinked to the nvim environment - it didn't work properly and the 8.1 terminal seemed inconvenient. To return to vim, you need to pick up a file again. Is it necessary? Tell me why vim is better than nvim.

Answer 1

Vim is more canonical, more documentation/ready-made configs/working plugins out of the box.
After the appearance in the latest versions of Vim of everything that neovim has temporarily overtaken it in (async / background work, terminals, package manager) - I don’t see any point in neovim.
It seems to me that the terminals are better implemented in vim.
However, if you already have everything configured in neovim and if there is a lot of this configured , I see no reason to switch to vim. Unless you basically need some plugin that is incompatible with neovim ...
Vim and neovim are basically the same.
