I'm making my (probably) 4th attempt in migrating from regular Vim to NeoVim, and while it's better now, the learning curve is still steep as hell. Going the kickstart.nvim route this time and boy, half of the stuff there is pure magic. Honestly feels like reading Nix incantations. Dynamic nature of Lua makes it even harder. Thankfully ChatGPT is pretty good in generating configs.
What's the difficulty to switch from Vim to Neovim?
I switched few years ago, and the switch was instant.
Afaik Neovim is fully backward compatible, unless maybe for some obscure features.
