    I tried NeoVim pretty early on, I think, around 2014. My primary editor at the time was gVim (I prefer a proper graphical front-end to running in a terminal).

    I used nvim on and off, primarily with nvim-qt as the front-end, though briefly with a custom setup that launched a new terminal emulator window and ran nvim there.

    Once nvim incorporated nvim-qt into the base install, I started using it more regularly; eventually I switched entirely to Neovide and haven’t even installed gVim on my last few work computers.

    I now primarily use VSCode with nvim integration. Unfortunately, I do have a weird issue where “undo” combines more operations than I’d expect, or, in some rare cases, it seems to corrupt the buffer and produce states that didn’t previously exist (!!). I don’t know if that’s an issue with the plugin, though.
