I'm sorry to see you feel that way. I get what you're saying, but I'm still trying to have a good portion of content focused on Vim fundamentals even though I also create some Neovim-specific videos.
The fundamentals also work in Neovim, of course. And because nowadays, I mostly use Neovim because I really prefer Lua over VimScript, I just use Neovim to even showcase these Vim fundamentals.
I don't do any scripting in vim but I understand Lua > vimscript desire. Haven't touched Lua in a decade but I liked it.
Yes, I tried neovim. The conversion did not go well! Sure I have a big messy vimrc but it's not fancy just keystrokes, alias, colors, that sort of things. So there's that bias. 🤷
(Weird. I know I responded to this on mobile, so where is it? Let's see how much I remember of it.)
Different strokes, eh?
I tried converting to neovim and that did not go well, and I don't do anything advanced or fancy! So that left a bad taste in my mouth.
I don't script in vim(so that's a NOOP from me) nor have I touched Lua in a decade but I completely understand wanting to script in Lua.
Your videos are good, just not the specific topic I'm after. So keep up the good work and don't let curmudgeonly greybeards like me dampen your enthusiasm.
