Plus the dev is great and any suggestions/PRs are always welcome. FYI, by default, the key combos Cmd-Shift- and Cmd-Shift- will switch between tabs in MacVim (and in Google Chrome, Safari and probably a bunch of other stuff) 56. Plus I think the graphical niceties that come with it make it look great and closer to VS Code and such. Its still early days, but it works well enough that I can use it as my main editor for most things. I swapped to Oni on Windows recently and haven't looked back.
Maybe I was being stupid, but I found gVim to work weirdly on Windows (this was a few years back though) and couldn't work out how to get nvim-qt to let me open files easily with it, and it opened in a tiny windows and so on. On Windows though, I'm obviously moving around using the explorer, in which case a version of Vim/NeoVim that lets me just double click the file or right click edit and open it in Vim is much more useful. In Linux, I use terminal NeoVim with i3, so I'm in the terminal all the time anyways, I have no graphical explorer so terminal neovim works perfectly. I don't think this will especially help you, since its more Windows related, but I found using a GUI more useful when I am in Windows, so maybe someone else popping in here will find this useful. And please those of you who deign to grace us with your vim wisdom - be kind.
