For Neovim alternatives, use the same repository and one ordinary coding task.
- Open, search, edit, refactor, run tests, and inspect diagnostics.
- Check language-server behavior, completion, formatting, and debugging.
- Compare startup time and responsiveness on large files.
- Reproduce configuration on a clean machine and inventory plugin dependencies.
- Test accessibility and remote or terminal workflows if they matter.
The relevant measure is how quickly your team can make a correct change, not the number of bundled features.
