Use numbered list instead of custom-made numbering with brackets.

| Sep 26, 2022 at 18:11 | comment | added | Eric Marceau | As recommended by Ben, I have submitted, on Meta, a "petition" to have this question reopened. I ask that you consider giving this your consideration, for the benefit of the community. I have also formulated the issue in a generic fashion so that there may me a generalized stance regarding some questions that do come up. | |
| Sep 25, 2022 at 7:26 | comment | added | unrealapex | Some Neovim plugins do not work in Vim and vice versa as Neovim and Vim are maintained separately. Neovim and Vim each have certain APIs and features that the other does not. | |

| Sep 23, 2022 at 20:17 | comment | added | Martin Tournoij | I agree it's a bit broad @D.BenKnoble, but I think that's okay; it's a really useful question to have IMO, and I've seen it come up in various places a whole bunch of times. There is also some precedent here, e.g. Biggest differences between Vim and vi, What is Neovim, and how is it different from Vim?, What are the differences between the vim plugin managers?, and the occasional question like that hasn't really caused any great problems. | |
| Sep 23, 2022 at 19:44 | comment | added | Eric Marceau | Thank you, Ben, for your feedback. I honestly don't understand the difference between this group and the Meta (no experience with that), and don't know how to make it happen, if that is where it fits best. Can the question be "moved over" with all replies in its current state to the Vi and Vim Meta, so that contributions so far are not lost ? | |

| Sep 23, 2022 at 10:32 | comment | added | Martin Tournoij | I agree this is not an opinion-based question, as it focuses on objective differences. I do think it has the potential to attract opinionated answers (e.g. MDeBusk's answer probably falls in that category), but that's not really a problem with the question as such. | |

| Sep 22, 2022 at 20:41 | comment | added | r_31415 | Even more important, the most voted answer is written in such a way that cannot be described as opinion-based, which means that the question doesn't encourage opinion-based answers. The reason for closing this question should be stated clearly so that it can be modified. Maybe just remove "not widely known" and structure the question in terms of "drawbacks of switching to neovim"? | |
| Sep 22, 2022 at 20:10 | comment | added | Eric Marceau | I dispute categorically the labelling of my question as opinion-based. Answers may be opinion-driven, but there is NO opinion in the original question. I also made another coment where I asked for specific references to be documented for reproducing claimed responses. How can this not be more fact-based? Please re-open. | |

| Sep 22, 2022 at 17:32 | comment | added | Eric Marceau | If I may, I would suggest that for your Collected Community Response, you include the description of what is lacking/broken, along with the specific sequence to follow to reproduce the failed condition. That way, there can be no basis for rejecting the claims being stated, and all can independantly re-confirm those claims. | |

| Sep 22, 2022 at 15:57 | comment | added | Jared Smith | To OP: be careful about neovim "distributions" like lunarvim, spacevim, astrovim, etc. I feel from having played with them they are aimed more at non-vimmers switching to neovim than vimmers switching to neovim. You may find their alterations to some of the default options to be grating. | |
