I use vim for a living. I need it to work. Always. Neovim in my experience hasn't been as stable, not by a longshot. Neovim adds things I don't care about (lua, lsp, treesitter) while taking away things that are essential to me (gvim, rock solid stability).

I see the neovim community holding up lua as a holy grail, rewriting entire vimrc configs just for the sake of it (even though a vimscript vimrc is much easier to read than a lua one) and rewriting rock solid existing vim plugins in lua, resulting often in a less stable and less feature complete plugin. But hey, it's now written in lua so it MUST be better!
