Is neovim what was MacVim or are those two separate things?

Nice photo for the keynote speaker BTW - very cyberpunk -- thanks for the help keeping emacs down ;-)

To directly answer your question, MacVim is a GUI wrapper around plain ol' vim. AFAICT, MacVim has no relation to neovim.

Great comment, I’ll add there’s a MacVim-like GUI wrapper but for Neovim called VimR that i really like.

There's also Neovide which is written in Rust, which makes it, well, blazingly fast.
