Hi, I’m Daniel, a software engineer based in Italy.
The editor war between Emacs and (Neo)Vim is far from ending soon. And this is great since this means both communities will be active for a long time, hopefully. But one thing that I noticed lately on Github or Reddit is that a slow and gradual cross-pollination is taking place, on the Neovim side.

There are more and more plugins which aim to reproduce those features, sometimes sticking strictly to the original, while other times improving them where is possible. ...
