Long time vim user here. Practically had to choose right after starting as a dev, never looked back. All my editors/IDEs run in vim mode nowadays.

I don’t like the hassle of plugin management in vanilla vim.

I didn’t like evil spacemacs, but I do enjoy magit a lot.

Then tried neovim: good out-of-the-box experience, better plugin management, ready-to-use systems like nvchad. It’s been great.
