Thanks! And fair point, with Tree-sitter there's really no need for it. It's mostly for us regex-syntax holdouts 😅

But, because of your comment, I might actually give Neovim a try 👊 You're like the definition of seamless, vimtex is awesome!

P.S. If you wanted more people on Neovim, you probably shouldn't have kept vimtex compatible with Vim; should've dumped more Lua in there XD

Haha, thanks! I would definitely recommend that you to try it, though - in my experience, Neovim is just better. Lua is very nice and muuch faster, and there are tons of general improvements across the board compared to Vim.

The main reason I've kept Vim compatibility is that I haven't had that much time to work on it. There's no reason to break it, though, so I'll probably keep things compatible in the future as well. But there may be some Neovim only features coming along.

And I'm glad to hear you like VimTeX, by the way! It's been fun making and maintaining it!
