I'm a long time vim user, and never really had a need to use neovim or any other alternative/successor But the language service stuff alone might be enough to make me move 👀

Configuring with lua alone is amazing. Lots of great plugins available for neovim, I highly recommend it. Language servers are super simple to set up, and nvim-dap is very nice too.

Wait does that mean you haven’t had syntax highlighting either?

i have, but through individual language plugins like typescript-vim. then coc for lsp-like support all this stuff existed before language servers were a thing (so uses tsserver directly for example)
