Neovim vs RJ TextEd

Neovim is a free, Vim-based text editor built for extensibility and usability. It keeps Vim’s editing model and Vimscript v1 support, while configuration lives in init.lua and users can create Lua plugins. Its documented, versioned API and RPC let developers build extensions in many languages; GUIs, IDEs, and web browsers can also embed Neovim. Tree-sitter supports syntax highlighting and text objects, and built-in language-server support provides semantic code inspection and refactoring. Editing tools include multicursor command replay, macro recording, column editing, and large-file handling. A built-in terminal includes modern terminal features. Neovim supports Vim 8.x plugins and more. Stable downloads are listed for Linux, macOS, and Windows, with x86_64 and arm64 builds for each. Windows 8 or newer is required; Windows 7 and older are unsupported. It is licensed under Apache 2.0, with exceptions for parts contributed under the Vim license. Community support is available through GitHub Discussions and vi.stackexchange.com.

RJ TextEd is a code and text editor for many programming languages, with tools aimed particularly at web development. It can work with Unicode text, source code, ASCII, and binary files. For HTML and CSS, it offers an integrated preview, spell checking, auto completion, validation, and templates. A document map, code explorer, TODO lists, symbols, and fast search help navigate projects. Its language-server client provides code completion, hover information, diagnostics, and symbol search; FTP and SFTP support lets users upload and edit remote files. Themes, colors, and panels can be customized. RJ TextEd is freeware, including for commercial use, and donations are welcome. It is listed for Linux and Windows; the maker says it has been tested on Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11, and that Linux use may work through Wine. Downloads include 32-bit, 64-bit, and portable versions, plus a version for Windows XP and Vista. Online help and a forum are available.
