Likewise. I’m a heavy CLI user but gVim/MacVim are so entrenched in my workflow that the lack of a stable GUI for Neovim made it pretty much a nonstarter for me.
As some one who only uses vim/neovim in a terminal window - what’s the advantage of having GUI support in vim?
Mouse support in my terminal seems fine, even over ssh. Being able to do things like run it inside of a tmux session has always made it seem like the GUI would be a step back?
You can use gVim as a Notepad on steroids. You have the simplicity and familiarity of Notepad combined with the power vim, e.g. search & replace using regular expressions, syntax highlighting, the ability to delete 5 words by typing ESC d 5 w, plugins like fugitive and so on. I can't select text in neovim by pressing Shift and arrow keys. I can't copy text by pressing Ctrl+C.
