Neovim is the only reason I've given vim a serious look. I love Emacs more, but Neovim lets me use any UI on top of it, which means I can have better visual indicators for things I don't know how to do in VIM. Emacs has a GUI but a lot of it is "beyond flat" and it just doesn't translate well to my brain. The best plugin for Emacs for me is still Spacemacs, and no I don't use it with the vim mode stuff, I prefer it with regular emacs commands (for anyone curious).

But Neovim just works for me every time, even vanilla its fine.

I'm a strict Emacs-only user (although sometimes I'll jump into nano for quick edits of isolated files). When I just started out, I went with Spacemacs, which served me pretty well. But there were a few pain points that I can no longer remember, and eventually I gave Doom a try. Haven't looked back.
