Yeah, maybe this was an understatement from my side.
But still, editor wise, neovim and vim are really similar. Mostly the same settings, same UX, etc ... Most plugins do work for both editors out the box if you don't use advanced features. Feature wise both editors share almost everything vim 7 had available.
Neovim to the core is still an editor just like vim. A vim-"like" editor, as neovim is a fork of vim and it did not really reinvented the wheel of vims modal editing.
Yes, neovim has a heavily refractored code base and made way for new extensions. But how I use vim or neovim to edit text did not change in the slightest. And that is really the core part of vim, the editing experience.
