NeoVim 0.2.2

after exploring neovim for a couple days, here are the things on windows 7, 2018-04-20:

good

terminal inside it seems awesome

bad

config is all bespoke, afaict. running it in terminal (conemu) mode is hard to configure large file search takes forever

VSCode w/VSCode-vim plugin

pretty decent for dipping the toe in the water of vim on windows. Get's decent windows-y UI.

good

basic vim support windows native is nice - config is not a total bear

bad

large file support is terrible. There's lots of latency in both opening and then moving around commands are not global for the vim plugin - you have to be in the context of a text editor to use them
