When trying NeoVIM I found it completely unusable because of a single bug: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/2035

Hitting ^[ needs to be utterly responsive, but this causes that input to take up to seconds to be accepted. I've tried the suggested workarounds in tmux, etc. but the problem stubbornly persisted so I gave up. Will have to check back once that is fixed.

This brings me to a larger point - with Vim I can throw just about any environment/file type/file size at it and expect it to work. NeoVIM is not there yet so it's going to stay on the "try again in the future" list.



I had the same problem in terminal Vim.

This fixed it:

    " leave insert mode quickly
    if ! has('gui_running')
        set ttimeoutlen=10
        augroup FastEscape
            autocmd!
            au InsertEnter * set timeoutlen=0
            au InsertLeave * set timeoutlen=1000
        augroup END
    endif
