I don't get it. I got neo just to see how I liked it. The default markup highlighting is nice. I guess I'm not experienced enough to appreciate to Lua part, but I have no nerds to play with so don't know what it's for really.

    In the end the lua scripting thing is pretty simple … it’s a language that is general purpose though pretty light weight) and used elsewhere for good reasons. So if you want to learn about scripting your editor, with neovim, the language will be something potentially useful elsewhere. With vimscript, that’s not the case.

    And maybe it helps for the dev team to not have to maintain a scripting language on top of everything else?
